I'm more of a homeopathic type person for my animals and myself. So it is hard to just jump right to surgery. But I don't want to have her suffering either.
Has anyone had any luck treating this type thing without surgery? The vet seems to think that is our only option.
Thanks for any info you can share.

from what i understand anything past a 2.5 should be surgically repaired.....they say therapy can help up to that...but beyond it they do really need to have it fixed.
