Our little girl, Rin, has grade 2 (very close to 3) LP. Our vet's recommendation:
1. maintain a healthy weight
2. exercise daily
3. glucosamine supplement
4. Limit jumping (this is the most difficult)
our vet keeps an eye on the knees. Thankfully, surgery has never been recommended. Rin will be 9 in a couple of months and does well. This can be managed (at the lower level).
Shame on that breeder. She should see how many times she can dislocate her knee cap and continue to feel good. |
