This is kinda where I'm at too, right now. Wylie has had Grade 2 LP for about 3 yrs now - but has never, ever shown a single symptom. He gets Cosequin, of course. And until he worsens, shows symptoms - AND until his Atyipcal Cushing's is firmly in hand, there is no way I'd consider surgery.
Marcel was just recently Dx w/ Grade 1 in his R knee - so now he gets Cosequin too.
My house is a Pharmacy, at present.
