Matt, thanks for posting this. I hope you don't mind if I chime in here and ask some questions. My little guy was just diagnosed with LP in both back legs. I'm told since he's so small at 4 lbs, 2 years old, he doesn't need surgery yet. I'm going back to the vet to ask more questions once I learn a bit about what LP is. I'm wondering if anyone has used any joint supplements or walking at an incline to strengthen? Is that even an option at this point? I wonder how vets can estimate how long he will have before arthritis sets in? As I said, he's 2 years old.

Also, can anyone recommend a good pet insurance company that will cover this? Technically it hasn't been documented yet.

Matt, best of luck with your baby. This is a tough thing for these little pups to go through.
