I know several cases where the owners waited too long and the joints were so deteriorated that successful surgery was no longer possible. |
Thanks Ladymom! Do you think if I wait until April/May that would be too long? I just rather not have her go under general anesthesia again so soon. I just had her spayed only 3 months ago and I hate to put her under again. Right now, she doesn't show any signs of pain or anything. She runs, jumps, plays normally without any signs of LP. Also would you recommend doing bilateral LP surgery?
