My surprise today was that she is still early stage 2 in the left and stage 1 in the right... No recommended treatment other than Synovi G3 suppliment and Rimadyl for the pain...After xrays today, he diagnosed her as arthritic....

i'm sorry but i work for a veterinary orthopedic surgeon and i can tell you for a fact that the surgery does NOT take just a couple of minutes. it is longer then a spay/neuter/dental. depending on the size of the dog it can take anywhere from 45 minutes to 2 hours.
