Ellie has LP also. It's pretty significant, but she doesn't carry her leg or appear to be in pain from it, so surgical correction isn't in the picture right now.
That is true...everyone has a difference of opinion. My vet recommends it. The ortho I use has never recommended it, but I honestly don't know his take on it. I know that for me, it did not work on my knees, so I have never given it to any of my pups.
