shelby, i am in the same boat. i have taken penny to 4 different vets and have had all different reactions. i am just watching her she isn't that active so i dont' make her do alot of walking but i have anti inflammatories that the vet gave to her. pennys is a 3 also. one of the vets said that there are so many issues with the surgery that it could have to be redone later especially when it is that bad. i was thinking if i pay 2500 bucks by george it better be 100 percent.. that is alot of money. so since she isn't that active and loves to just be with me on the couch most of the time i am just giving her meds if i think she might be in any kind of pain and she is fine... she is only 4 so i guess time will tell.. i am just riding mine out for now. i would get another opinion too.. |
