Many pups DO need surgery, but the vast majority do not. They used to do them more routinely and now the trend is away from surgery unless there is a problem.
Oh, and I want to add that LP does not always get worse as you suggested. I have had pups for many years with LP that stayed exactly the same. Often just keeping the weight down and keeping them from jumping off of furniture is enough to keep them stable. |
That's exactly what our vet told us. We have to watch Sandy's weight (he's 3.5lbs) and make sure he doesn't jump.
