During Jezebel's last yearly exam (just this past February), the vet manipulated her patellas and pointed out that she has LP. That shocked me, since I had never EVER seen her favor one leg over another, limp, lift her leg, or anything like that. When the vet manipulated her patellas, there was an audible pop when the patellas would go right back into the correct position on their own.

Now it is 4 weeks later, and she started lifting her left leg and sometimes doing a little skip, primarily when she gets up after laying down.

I want to start a serious search to find the right surgeon. The vet mentioned that they have an orthopedic surgeon that comes by once per week that handles those sorts of surgeries for the practice. Would you consider a vet with these credentials:

"Dr. XYZ was raised in Wichita Falls, Texas and attended S.H. Rider High School. He earned his B.S. in Veterinary Science at Texas A & M in 1974 and his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A & M in 1975. He has a special interest in surgery and is certified in AO-ASIF Fracture Repair / Plating techniques, AO-ASIF Advanced Orthopedics / Corrective Oteotomies (TPLOs), and Slocum Tibial Plateau Leveling Osteotomy (TPLO). Dr XYZ is a member of the American Veterinary Medical Association.

Dr XYZ is currently available for surgical cases every Tuesday and some Friday at ABC Veterinary Clinic.

When Dr. XYZ is not working he is spending time with his three toy poodles Gracie, Lucy, and Scarlet or traveling to see his daughter Jenifer in New York. Dr. XYZ likes to combine travel to exotic places and continuing education several times a year. His extracurricular activities include golf and scuba diving."

I would also consider going to A&M or anywhere in Houston, I'm just starting my search.

Meanwhile, I have started her on supplements. I don't want to jump the gun but I also don't want to wait too long so that we are past the point where it can be fixed.

Thanks in advance.
