I would definitely seek another opinion as I always feel when in doubt I rather get all the info I can. I always go with my gut. I would definitely want to make sure that a pin didn't shift or move.
Gilmore is into his 7th week of his second LP surgery. I am sure that every dog recovers differently as do people. But I can tell you from my two experiences that Gilmore was walking right after both surgeries and really wasn't limping after the first week. I know he was definitely ahead of schedule. He is required to have 3 months of total crate rest with a few 5-10 minute walks each day. He didn't need pain meds after a few days.
You would never know that he had surgery.
Good luck. I hope is back to herself in no time. |
