LCP is more prevalent than we realized at first. The surgery works and the dog is absolutely fine without the joint. In a young dog, the muscle fills in and works to stabalize the hip. I bought a male for stud and whe he was still not old enough to breed, he started with symptoms. My mentor, Pat, knew right away what it was. i gave him to the vet tec and paid for his surgery. It was a nearly $2000.00 lesson but it happened before I could have passed it on and broke the heart of another Yorkie lover.
