My Pixie had the surgery in May. She walked off the bed and the next day couldn't stand on her leg. She would keep falling over. I took her to the er and they said LP. I took her back later that night for xrays and they confirmed grade 3 LP and said she needed surgery. Took her to my regular vet and she agreed and referred me to a board certified surgeon who said surgery. Pixie's knee would not stay in the socket at all so I did have the surgery. She did fine but I would only do it as a last resort. My Cali has grade 4 Lp in both knees and is doing fine at 5 1/2 years old with out surgery. I would get a second opinion from a board certified surgeon. Hopefully rest will do the trick. |
