Totally agree! I have pups with LP in varying degrees and none have required surgery.

I suggested a surgeon for a second opinion, not because I believe surgery is always needed. I know the specialist that I use for orthopedic problems does not recommend surgery unless there is a real problem with ambulation and/or pain.
