I agree with the above advice. Get a second opinion.

My 1 1/2 year old 4-pounder has between Grade 1 and Grade 2 LP. My regular vet wanted me to severely restrict all activity and be prepared for surgery. The board certified surgeon said to let her be a dog. He thinks a lot of small Yorkies go through their entire lives with various grades of undiagnosed LP. And they do just fine.

However, if she ever shows signs of pain or immobility, I will likely opt for surgery from the best surgeon I can find. So far *knocks on wood* I wouldn't know she has it if it wasn't diagnosed. She gets around great.
