As for LP - Daisy had a grade 4 and had the surgery at under 1 year old. The cost of the surgery was around $1800 back in 2001 here in the northeast. Hers was done by a board certified orthopedist and while views differ on this I'd personally never let a vet who was not board certified operate on my dog.
She recovered very nicely with no remaining issues and will be 10 in September. So, even if it is LP and it requires surgery, these little dogs can do very well. |
My vet has not seen her yet. I just called for his opinion. He said it could mean something but it may be a one time thing. As far as I know there has been no blood work done. She had the 2 episodes and was brought out of it at home. When taken to the vet he didn't seem to think blood work needed to be done. I will make sure it is done once she is with me. IF she is with me. Haven't heard back from her owner yet. Crossing my fingers!
I think we can handle the LP.
