So my baby was diagnosed with LP’s in both of her knees, I put her on bed rest and started her on glucosamine tabs. After about 2 weeks she wasn’t getting any better and was still limping really bad so I took her to another vet for a 2nd opinion. They took x-rays and they think she needs surgery. She’s seeing their orthopedic specialist on Tuesday the 20th.

I've been doing a lot of research on whether it's genetic or not and can't seem to find a definitive answer. Any thoughts?
