You are not the only one to get this "lovely" little surprise. We just found out that our 6 month old Jack has Grade 4 in his left leg and a grade 2-3 in his right. My vet told me that since it is not bothering him yet, that they will wait to do surgery. She said she can manipulate it in and out but I have never seen any signs that it bothers him. SHe told me that they will not do surgery for him until it really starts to bother him, arthritis sets or, or something else (I really don't remember everything she told me.) I plan to get him the surgery but in a few years. This may sound like a terrible decision but I would like to get another opinion but when we move out to the west coast (Washington) so we can have more of an option with who we see. Trust me, if it get worse or anything he will go in straight away.
