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.

Of course you did the right thing! Don't second guess yourself! Some pups DO need surgery. All we are saying is that many do not and clearly you and your vets know that.
