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'm glad you got good news! But I have to agree that I would get a third opinion. **I really hope the second vet gave the correct diagnosis!
