Many pups live long lives with LP and never require surgery....and never have issues with their knees! Surgery is not inevitable with LP!
I have quite large veterinary bills and spare no expense when surgery is indicated. Anyone who knows me, knows that this is the case! I would never let a pup suffer....I also would not amputate a limb because of the cost of repair which I have seen. I know anyone doing that would not do that to their own limb...but, that is another topic. I am simply saying that I take no short cuts at all! I have consulted with my vet and also a board certified vet regarding LP and it is not necessary to operate on every one of them. |
I 100% agree as well as i went through alot of research and also contacted the two bc orthopedics in my area
Now if my dog was in alot of pain, and after 2 mos of resting still lifting leg all the time, etc then i would opt for surgery but ONLY if this was the case and thank God it was not with my dee dee.
