Second Opinions! This is a HUGE thank you to those who stressed that I get a second opinion when I found out that Jack may have had LP. I will not be going back to the vet had been going before. I went to this new place for an opinion on his coughing/sneezing and she really strongly believes he has an URI. Whereas, the previous vet had told me that it was probably my carpet causing his nose to become irritated. Stike 1. Now here comes the really aggitating part..... this new vet says she has dealt with a lot of toy breeds that have LP. She has several different breeds right now that she is monitoring to watch for advancing signs. Already I trust her judgement. But I had her take a "look" at Jack knees. She said that no doubt that his knees slide out a different way (they move to the ouside of the legs versus the inside) but she CANNOT grade him!!!! She said that she can't even get his knee cap to come completely out, therefore at this point not even a grade one. She put him on her "to watch" list. So again, thank you all for your encouragement to see someone else. I am so happy I did.
