Same here at least for the majority of them. Some will still recommend surgery. It really is ridiculous though imo....every one of my personal pups has some degree of LP. If they tear a ligament, they will then have the ligament repaired and knee at the same time. To repair them as adults is not gaining a thing really....they already have wear and tear on the ligament and fixing the knee is not going to prevent a tear that will require surgery. The knee can be repaired at the same time the ligament is. I am not willing to put them through an unnecessary surgery only to have them be faced with another down the road.
