Retained teeth are baby teeth that have not fallen out on their own.

LP can refer to two different situations. Legg-Calve Perthes Disease (Normal blood supply to the head of the femur bone is decreased, causing it to degenerate, weaken, and possibly collapse) or Luxating Pattella (The kneecap slips out of place)

My Schatzie was diagnosed w/ Legg-Calve Perthes and had surgery to correct.
