I am so glad my vet is one that doesn't just rush into saying my dogs have to have surgery at the drop of a hat....he believes LP is just so common in toy dogs and if it's not affecting their quality of life and they are not in pain and or limping no use doing something that may or may not have to be done again.
My dogs are happy and not in pain and since I have their weight under control no legs popping out of place and limping. When they were overweight that is when they would pull the leg up but that hasn't happened now in over 3 years since their weight is under control
