I would also have to assume it's genetic. She is very young and her uncle has it. Extremely likely...
If she is limping, that in itself indicates pain. She is nipping also. I would go with the recommendation of the vet and do this surgery as soon as possible for the comfort of your pup. Is she on meds to help with the pain until surgery is done?
