So we were at the new vet yesterday getting Violett her las set of shots and Spanky got his yearly booster (which to our surprise he did extremely well for) The Vet who we just love by the way said that Spanky had LP grade 3 and were we aware of this ?
We had no Idea the past vet never said anything (But thats the way he was, in and out next. if youno what i mean) So he said that he wouldn't do surgery on him at this point because although he was grade 3 that he had one with the same and he didnt have any problems till he was 13yrs old. Spanky is 2 and shows no signs of a problem other then what the vet could feel. He did ask us if spanky favored a leg or both at all. when spanky was a year old he hurt his bk leg which we had xrayed and there were no problems. a year later they xrayed it again told us it was fine. that was the old vet we did not like. So Now were wondering if anyone has ever had a baby with LP Grade 3 and not needed surgery till later. I have been reading up on it and read that if arthritic changes may take place and cause pain. I would relay like to no if any one has an older dog with LP Grade 3
thank you for takeing the time to read my awfull gramer.
