Most of the time it pops out and then back in. There are no study's saying supplements really help. For some they do and for some they don't so some vets say to try some don't. Even if it's a low grade it can still cause issues. One of the biggest issues is the LP causing ACL tears. I have been through LP surgery with my dog on both back legs. It's tough so I only suggested to do it if it's really necessary so you really might want to just do a consult with an orthopedic surgeon and they can tell you how bad it is and what they suggest.
