I would get a second opinion. I had Pixie's left leg done a few months ago because she suddenly, after falling off the bed, couldn't walk. I had 4 opinions and her knee would not stay in at all, so I did the surgery. She is doing well. My Cali who is now 5 has grade 4 in both knees and does fine with it. You can tell she stands funny but moves around fine. Since she has other health issues the vet and I decided to just wait and see if she needs it later on. My vet said she has seen dogs with grade 4 live to 14 and never need surgery. |
