Le sigh....interesting you posted this, bc I'm in a bit of the same situation. Our Wylie has always had LP...but never, ever limped or showed a single symptom. He is almost 8.
Just recently, he has been limping occasionally...he'll limp for bit, then fine, then a day later...a bit of a limp, then better. It's only one leg right now. I need to take him in, and I really don't want to

bc I'm scared they'll want him to have surgery, poor baby.
I sure hope it goes wonderfully for your kiddo, and I wish Dee all kinds of fast healing and good thoughts
