Libby has LP in her back legs and it is a grade 2. My vet said that if I keep her from becoming overweight, she should not get worse. As soon as I found out about the knees, I started giving her Flexicose, which is a liquid glucosamine complex. She has been doing great since then and isn't having any issues at all with her knees. I cannot get her to quit jumping, so have given up trying, but even with all her jumping and being wild and crazy, she hasn't shown any signs of them hurting. I also try to walk her to build up the muscles and ligaments around the knee.
Good luck with your little one! I hope it's not beyond a grade 2! |
