How old is she again? If young, a pound in a month may be just fine. My Wylie has LP grade 2 in both knees, never symptomatic though. Marcel has Grade 1 in one knee, no symptoms.

Hopefully, the vet told you to give Cosequin RS to help prevent further deterioration? Most of us get ours at Entirely Pets.
