So I found a board certified specialist and I felt completely comfortable with her and her recommendations. She did say that his left knee was an L3 and right was L2. She did say he needed surgery and said because of the way his right knee was moving we might want to think about doing both now although it could wait but the left should have it now if that is how we wanted to treat it. He is having such problems with it and is such my little terrier dog that we have decided to do surgery on both knees. She was very thorough in going over everything and our options. While I am very nervous about this (he is just so little - 5lbs), I am completely comfortable in this decision. More so than the other vet I saw. The closer we get to the date the more nervous I get. Thanks for everyone's advice, this has been every helpful in finding a vet and asking the right questions!!!!
