I have one with grade 4 in both legs and my vet and I decided to take a wait and see approach as she is my MVD girl. Her legs look bad as they are out permanently, but she has no trouble walking, limited jumping and is my most most active one. Now on Pixie, who was grade 3 in her left leg, the 2 er vets said she needed surgery, I took her to my vet she said she had no groove and felt she would need surgery. Took her to the Ortho surgeon, who has treated Cali and Maya for other reasons and I knew wasn't surgery happy, and she said she needed it. So we did it. Do I think we did the right thing? I'm not sure but 3 vets and an ortho surgeon advised it. |
