Oh so sorry to hear that- it always hurts to hear our babies will need surgery.
Did your vet tell you what grade/stage it is? (1 2 3 or 4) Stage 1 and 2 do not require surgery- 3 and 4 do.
Is your pup in noticeable pain? Layla has stage 1/2 in both of her back legs but i'd never know it if the vet hadn't told me. Right now we are just holding off until she shows us it is bothering her. She will occasionally pick up her leg when we are walking but i've only seen her do this twice.
Go look at these threads- Gracie2006 did a great job!
