hmmmm....I am wondering why an Ortho Vet didn't do the cut and pin procedure for the LP.

When Roxy went in for hers, she had an Ortho Vet do the surgery, and it was explained that she would be doing the cut and pin, and I was paying more. However, during surgery, the Dr. felt that the way Roxy's legs were, that just deepening the groove and tightening the ligaments that she would do fine....Well, I was a little upset, but ok, that was her judgement. BUT at the 6 week checkup her left leg was luxating again, so back for surgery this time to do the cut and pin. And around the 6 month mark, her right leg was luxating again...

I am not saying all this to scare or freak you, but this is what happened to us, so I just wanted to share
