 I think it's time to close the thread.

  Just because someone has an opinion other then yours? I'm sorry you have not had to watch a dog suffer from LP and the suffer from getting the surgery but it really sucks. They have to cut away pieces of the bone and put pins in. Do you know how bad it hurts for your bone cut on? Do you know how depressed a dog can get from having to be crated for 8 weeks or more no matter what you do to try and make them happy and get them out of the crate? Have you had to doubt yourself because they were in pain so you got the surgery then they got an infection, then the incision split open and then the pins cause pain but they could not remove them for months even though they were hurting? If you haven't had to go through that then you have no idea how serious and how painful LP and the surgery can be. It should not be sugar coated and it should not be ok to set dogs up to have to go through that! LP surgery is rough and it's painful!
