My little Dylan is going to have the LP surgery done on his left back leg. It didn't use to bother him very much except for an ocassional skip but recently it has become much worse and sometimes he will now hold it up and not use it at all. He's only 2 years old. My vet said it's only a grade 2 but it definitely is bothering him. I am going for a consult with a surgeon this Thursday.
I'm so worried about him surviving the surgery because he also has a collapsed trachea. I'm hoping that the surgeon will be able to alleviate some of my fears. If he says the surgery is risky because of his collapsed trachea then I won't go through with it. |
