Nobody likes to see their babies in pain.

I am not meaning to question your vet....but, I have to say that I am wondering if you misunderstood what grade these knees are. I find it incredibly difficult to understand how this puppy could have knees that bad without ever having symptoms.

Again, I have spoken at length with a board certified surgeon who said that the trend now is away from so many surgeries...NOT saying yours is not needed. I just would want to hear it from a specialist if it were my pup.
