I feel your pain. Our little stinker had surgery on her double LP yesterday and won't be home until tomorrow. She will be ten months old on the 22nd, so we were certainly not expecting this.
I am NOT an expert, but please talk to your vet about his/her recommendation and have Bailee seen by a surgeon. Because you are dealing with a young dog, the choices you make will have a longer impact. Our first yorkie was diagnosed with LP on one side when she was older, and I never pursued treatment. It just wasn't a big factor in her life at that point. The thing that scared me with Gracie was her youth and the risk of arthritis for many years remaining to her (and some of us know how that feels!) It seemed important to address the problem.
Others who have deeper, more significant knowledge will surely reply, and your professionals may have other advice. Just know that you are not alone--it is scary, and our house is way too quiet today with Gracie at the hospital.
