I waited on the LP surgery, because Sadie wasn't terribly bad and the vet said surgery doesn't always help... Well she got worse, went up to stage 3, and I got a second opinion. The vet said she had a tear in her ligament and arthritis!!! She is only 4 year old. He told me even though she shows no pain, she was in pain and we got the surgery done.
The surgeon told me the success rate is very high... (In the 90 something percent) Sadie is doing well. This is day 4.
If you dog gets this surgery, and you dont have a dog stroller, get one... I have been using mine as a dog crate on wheel... So Sadie can be where I am and I don't have to keep picking her up. She loves it because she feels safe in it. My other Dog Chewy can't get her, He wants to see her and play and she is a bit afraid of him jumping around her.
the stroller has been a great help in me being able to do what I need to around the house and she doesn't feel left out.
If I ever leave her she will go in a crate to be safe, I don't leave her in the stroller alone.
