My vet recommended a supplement called phytoflex. it's made by natures pharmacy. She has been on it for a year and is still my pogo stick but her numbers have not changed so I believe it is helping . So far everyone else has 0 in both knees.
Yea he said since she is still growing we will have to wait and see if surgery will be the best option. She isn't in any pain which is good but I know this typically gets worst if left alone. I will only do surgery if its painful and/or affecting her way of life. Is the phytoflex safe for puppies? Thanks for the input! You wouldn't know she has LP by looking at her but of course I know it's there so I watch her like a hawk!
