I would definitely recommend seeing a board certified surgeon who is versed in small dog care. We went thru lp surgery when Hot Rod was about 1 1/2. He was limping and picking his leg up. His leg was bowed outward.
While some dogs have lp and a higher grade of it, they do not necessary need surgery. It depends on how much pain the dog is in, if any. My Maggie may has low grade 2 and we were totally shocked as she jumps, runs and plays like nothing is wrong at all.
Has your vet recommended any type of supplements? Like cosequin, dasuquin or glucosamine? |
