I know that 4 years ago when Callie went to the orthopedic surgeon and he said her ACL was tearing and the cause was her LP and that he never asked what age she was spayed and he prides himself on keeping up with the research. When we went back this time and were trying to figure out the best time to do the surgery and again he said the LP could cause the ACL to tear. Never once did he suggest the age she was spayed had anything to do with the ACL and tearing. I am so much more likely to trust my specialist then parts of a study we don't know the info on the dogs from. I feel if there was research that was important my specialist would have read it and told us early spaying was the reason. Callie came from a puppy mill there is no doubt in my mind her poor genetics are what caused her to have LP and the LP led to the tearing of the ACL not because she was spayed before a year.
