Max's vet (who I kind of do not like but have not yet found a replacement for) said he has stage 2 in his back left leg and recommended surgery ASAP!
I am getting a second opinion AND another vet.
Everything i have researched and read here says he does not "need" surgery yet.
Max is in no pain and shows no discomfort about it at all.
He just skips a step or two and then walk normal again. Then skips a step...walk normal for a bit.
