 LP and Raw Diets
Remy had his annual check up yesterday, and we had some interesting commentary from our vet that I thought I would share
Rem had been assessed with LP in his one leg between grade 3/4 last summer. The vet at that point suggested we monitor things and consider surgery. He had had an injury at 6 months that may have precipitated the LP.
At that point we switched him to a Raw diet, not necessarily for that reason, but in part to see if it would positively impact his joints
Yesterday the vet felt the luxation in the knee was significantly improved, to the point where the knee cap would stay in place, and go back on its own if manipulated out. Much different than last summer.
My conclusion is that the Raw diet, combined with his exercise program has provided non-surgical, positive results to the LP condition. She indicated that she would definitely not recommend surgery for him if he was not experiencing any problems - which he is not - no leg lifting, and no favoring it.
All in all we were thrilled to hear this news!!
