Talk with our vet about supplements...good to start early if you know that there may be a lp issue.
If you can, have stairs or ramps so your little one does not have to jump.
If you should have to have the surgery, make sure to get a board certified surgeon who is well versed with small dogs. Ask all and many questions and make sure you fully understand what is happening. Don't let the vet or surgeon "talk" you into anything, a 2nd opinion is always a good option. Best of luck to your little one.  |
thank you, well she is 2 and the vet said that it wasn't a bad degree 1 either, although she was able to push it out and back in.
as far as surgery goes if i have to do it, we have K-State here and they are very good. My vet works side by side with them as well.
