Bailey was diagnosed with LP on her very first pup visit. When she was 8 months old I noticed that special limp that goes with LP. The vet recommended an ortho visit and probably surgery. That was in November '07- so I decided to wait until after the Christmas holidays before continuing. Bailey never limped again so I did not pursue the ortho - now she's 4 years old. The same thing happened with my sister's terrier.
If your baby is still young and not in pain, maybe the best advice is to wait and see - let the bones mature before surgery?
Good luck!
