LP's themselves usually don't cause pain. It's the arthritis that sets in over time. That's why it's a good idea to use a joint supplement like Cosequin.
I would definitely have your vet check her knees. If they are grade 3-4, I'd get a referral to an orthopedic vet for a second opinion. |
So starting a joint supplement asap would be a good idea? Bella will be 2 the 25th of this month.
