unless your dog is lifting leg up all the time in pain no surgery necessary

my dog has LP 4 permanently out and never lifts leg or is in pain but it does leave them susceptible to acl tears and ruptures so do not let them do twisting and turning motion like ball or frisbee or jumping on and off furniture and be careful on stairs

my dog was diagnosed after hurting herself jumping off doggie stairs and we did digital xrays and it looks just like xray on link i sent. I think 3 is the problem as it slides in and out alot as my girl never lifted her leg with a grade 4 and she is 5 years old this july
