Posted by Karrie "But again, she was diagnosed with only a level one." Cocoa lived for 9 yrs. with LP before she had to have surgery. Grade 1 is definitely manageable. I've been suspicious for awhile that Snow had LP when I watched him get up from his haunches. It always seemed as if he couldn't get his paws under him correctly to push himself up in a smooth manner. He has never had enough power in his hind legs to jump up on the couch. I have ramps to everything, which I am now thankful for.
Thank you for the infor about the surgeon. $850 is cheaper than what I paid. It was supposed to cost $1,400 but I got by with $1,200. Would you be able to PM the Ortho's name and number to me? Guess it wouldn't be so bad staying in KC for a few days. Our daughter goes to pharmacy school in Lawrence and works at KUMC.
