My Pixie who is 4 1/2 had the LP surgery about 10 weeks ago. I didn't even know she had it. My other 3 do but Pixie's wouldn't stay in after she fell off the bed and she couldn't adjust to it. I had 4 opinions and decided on the surgery. She is doing good now and so far her other knee a grade 2 is holding up. The surgery was 2600.00 including Xrays and the recovery is rough trying to keep them confined for 6 weeks. I have Cali who has grade 4 in both knees and they are permanently out of the socket but she does fine with it and her vet and are taking a wait and see approach. I think in hindsight I would have given Pixie more time to heal and see if she got better. I only waited about 2 1.2 weeks from her fall. I hope Sophie doesn't have any further problems with her knee and can avoid surgery. |
