LP's are very touch and go.

Rockdiva...yes, the weather affects it. Snick had his LP surgery 3.5 weeks ago and I swear the way he gracefully walks and prances around on all 4's again, you would never think he had LP. He is doing incredible and he only had a grade 2 and we had surgery on it. He was lifting his leg a ton so we thought it was the best decision. The vet says the LP will worsen the longer you wait for surgery, but then also, some dogs live fine with LP and deals with it with the help of glucosamine.

Now that the weather is colder, Snick lifts his leg again outside, rarely inside. Actually every time he pee's he lifts it so it won't get wet from the pee. Interesting. And he wants IN immediately
