Penny has LPs. Her right leg is worse off than her left. The vet did not recommend surgery. While one is worse, neither are horrible. He said, often times, surgery can do more harm than good. He said, as she gains muscle tone around her knee, the issue will probably go away. I had a feeling she had them but I wanted confirmation. That was over a month ago and she's not shown signs since.

I'm interested in hearing what others who do not opt for surgery are doing for their dogs. Are you giving supplements to prevent issues down the road?
