I have a girl with a low grad LP and I will not put her through the surgery unless it bothers her. She runs and plays just fine. The only thing I make sure of that when she wants to get up or down off of something, she either has a step or I pick her up and put her up or down. She goes up and down stairs just fine, I just don't want her jumping because that can cause more damage to the leg joints.
If you are getting another puppy, make sure there is a couple of days so that you can have your vet check the legs before you decide on keeping the pup. A vet can check right away and know, but be aware that LP is not always inherited, but can be the cause of jumping and landing wrong, or some other injury. |
