I'm sorry to hear about Betty Boop having LP, but I just can't see your vet suggesting surgery at grade 2. Libby has had grade 2 LP since she was about the age Betty is, and she is 3 1/2 now. I put her on Flexicose, which is a liquid glucosamine complex and she has been fine...no limping or noticeable problems. My vet told me to keep Libby skinny and she will be fine. I would not put any of my dogs through surgery unless they were in pain and it was obvious with limping, etc. Give Betty Boopster kisses from me and the girls! |
