I took her to the vet yesterday afternoon, and she has grade 4 LP. We now have an appointment scheduled with an orthopedic surgeon for x-rays. Talk about a whirlwind of emotions! It is better safe than sorry. I would talk to your vet.

I hope that she is okay.
Did Harley tear her ACL, too? That's a common injury with dogs with LP's.
