I would get a 2nd opinion for another vet and another specialist. What grade was your baby diagnosed at? Uni was diagnosed at grade 3 LP and her vet does not recommend surgery unless she really starts limping or favoring a leg. Does your baby carry either of her legs? Uni has only done it once in her whole life, and she is grade 3. i give her glucosamine supplements. While it does not make the condition go away, it can really help lubricate the joints and help the knees from popping in and out of place.

Oh i also wanted to add, if your baby is only 10 months and already truly at this stage, that's not a good sign. Do you have a contract from your breeder? This is a genetic condition, and dogs known with this problem should not be bred at all.
