I agree, definitely have a board certified surgeon who is familiar with small breeds see your little Sophie. My Hot Rod had lp surgery 2 years ago now and whenever we see the vet I ask him how his knee is and they all say as tight as can be.
I would ask about trying supplements such as cosequin or dasuquin also. Another thing that you could do is try and keep her (good luck to you) from jumping. It is that motion that you want her to avoid of pushing off on her hinds as well as jumping off furniture. Try ramps or stairs. I have stairs everywhere I know that they want to jump onto and off of.
My almost 3 year old Maggie has low grade 2 in both her knees and you would never know she had any problems. Best of luck with the second opinion. |
