I think it's wonderful that you found this other vet, but....I almost think if it were me...I might even get a 3rd opinion, just because the 2 vets had *such* polar opinions, you know? It's just so odd. But, the vet IS right - there are much better supplements now - Cosequin being the best, in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing this bc you are absolutely right - 2nd opinions are so important, bc these surgeries are major for these babies.



I agree with this. Second opinions are very useful, but when the results are so different, it's probably best to get a third. I know you want to believe the second one because it's the "best" news, but what if it not true? I wonder what the first doctor would say of the second doctor's findings?
