It's a toughie. Lucy has Grade 3 LP as well; we thought she was having fainting spells (this was about 2 years ago) and an ER doctor diagnosed the LP. She would hold her leg out. The ER doctor gave us some recommendations but went on and on about not doing surgery unless it was absolutely necessary. Of course, she was just a puppy at the time.
But it has never happened since then.
I have noticed since we moved here - that she no longer offers to jump up on the couch or chair. Which makes Ringo very happy and is better for her.
But she's only 3 - which seems young to have such problems.
At any rate, I feel for you - I would do what the specialist said and see how things go until June. Your answer may be readily available by then.
I will be keeping an eye on things myself. Best of luck.
