First and foremost Welcome to YT! Yes, I've heard of a pup being misdiagnosed before when it comes to LP. A breeder I was interested in purchasing from had a litter available.
I had choice of 3 boys, the boy I picked went for his 8 week health exam and the vet stated he had LP(not sure what grade) in one of his front knees. When the breeder went back a few weeks later for another exam the vet didn't find anything.
The breeder called me with the latest findings and told me he wouldn't be comfortable selling that particular puppy to me and he would be placing said pup in a pet only home with limited registration(gave it to his family member for free).
Yes, I would consider getting a different vets opinion. How old is the puppy? It may right itself as he grows, but that's great you're considering keeping him! If you do sell him will you be informing his new owners of the possible problems and cost associated with LP? |
