Well the main thing is when pets have LP’s that high is to watch their weight. My Vet said Peanut is at a 3 and 4, however if I keep his weight low ( 4 pounds) and I don’t allow him to do any major running jumping, he should be ok- he only limps every once in awhile and he doesn't really limp he just does a little skip. I have noticed in the winter it bothers him more, but he is never in pain.
I would start to get her weight down, can you do light exercising with her? Don't let her gain anymore weight. I would go see you Ortho and see what he says.. make sure he is highly recommended, and experienced in smaller breeds.
Try to let her take it easy, make her rest as much as you can. ((HUGS)) I know how stressful it is, but thankfully it can be fixed.
