After surgery, he told me that mechanically, the left was actually worse than the right. Point of the story is this: You can't necessarily depend upon a dog's symptoms and x-ray findings when making a decision about doing the LP surgery. I came THIS close to not having the left one fixed. I'm now glad I did. |
