And while LP is not considered a painful condition unless arthritis sets in, in my opinion, limping indicates that there could be pain involved. Dogs tend to hide it very well.
I would seriously consider surgery in this case. |
Thanks for posting that link. It was very helpful to explain to bf what I was talking about. But still he didn't get it right away, but it helped.
Also, in that link, Uni seems to fit more into the stage 2 category, but from what I've read here, she seemed like a 3?
She is not limping anymore, and not skipping when she runs, so we just have to be more careful about her jumping for getting to worked up.
I'm going to get xrays done from the 2nd DVM hopefully next week and see what he says.
