How old is Bella? What grade did your vet say? Was the assessment made from just feeling her knee or was an xray done?

There are a lot of varying factors. A dog may have lp, but not be showing, experiencing any problems. My Hot Rod had lp surgery at 1 1/2 years old. He was at a grade 3 and his ligament was off to the side of his leg.

My Maggie May has low grade 2 in both her knees and you would never know it.

Did your vet and you talk about supplements? The 2 that I happen to be familiar with are Cosequin and Dasuquin. I have given these to my cats and dogs per my vet recommendation. I would suggest talking with your vet about these supplements in his/her recommendation of treatment.
