I know you love that vet and think he is better than a boarded surgeon and all. I am simply flabbergasted but then wth do I know? My vet would never operate on just LP on an adult. I have dealt mostly with torn CCLs. Of course one did have LP surgery after the CCL repair, but he was on very lmited exercise for another 8 weeks, but you cannot really compare one to another. I just hope this is ok for Bella. Of course you do say one step at a time..and maybe he knows you well enough to know that you know he means exactly that. I just hope your partner knows it!
Very happy that she is doing well.
