Default LP vs LP

My Lily was lifting her leg often too. One vet said No worries just a little knee slipping we call it LP. 4 months later it is really getting bad and I just knew she was having pain. New Vet, did x-rays it was LP alright Leggs Parthes! She had literally no hip socket left and the top of her femur was spurred and grinding into her hip. He said her pain was constant. I knew he was right. BTW all x-rays where taken while completely awake. Surgery was Monday. We expect that she will heal well and be free of pain. This is not a Fix, that would take a new hip. We did FHO This is a repair. She will be able to move about pain free. May have one leg a bit shorter.
