My boy started limping (left hind leg) on Monday but by the evening he was able to walk on the leg. Tuesday morning I noticed he had trouble getting up and he was not as active.

Fortunately I was able to get an appointment with the vet. X-rays confirmed diagnosis for LP4. The vet and I discussed surgery and timing and I left his office thinking maybe, just maybe, I could hold out a few months longer.

Even with a shot to relieve pain Romeo continued to limp Wednesday morning so I contacted the vet. The ortho surgeon is available tomorrow to do Romeo's LP surgery.

It is breaking my heart to see Romeo in pain and discomfort but I am a nervous wreck thinking about what he has to undergo tomorrow.

I am reaching out to my YT family for prayers and positive thoughts for Romeo to have a successful surgery tomorrow, and a quick recovery (and back to his normal self).
