Of my three I have 2 with some degree of LP and I have never seen something like what you experienced. It literally would mean that you have a dog with Grade 4 LP and both legs became dislocated at the same time with no apparent cause. Doodlebug is the most sever and once he took an odd tumble off the back step and carried his leg. He still was able to walk on the other three but would pick up the leg that was out of place. Yes, eventually it did return to normal but it was not an overnight miracle. He was also given a prescription anti inflammatory and pain med. Was this done for you? It just does not seem right IMO.
I agree, this sounds like more going on than just LP. We're concerned and want to help, that's all. I'm sorry you've felt bashed here - that isn't the intent.
