If it is LP and she is just having issue with it they might just medicate and crate rest her. The specialist I use does not suggest surgery on LP in adult pups because there has already been wear and tear on the ligament...they can end up tearing it and then you have two surgeries. More money and more discomfort for the pup. |
Thank you Ladyjane for your advice! It is really not in my interest to put her under the physical stress of a surgery. Not to mention, the dreaded recovery period where she wants to run around but can't (it was unbearable enough as it was for a simple spay surgery where recovery was only 7-10 days - I cannot fathom a couple months!)!
I'm still monitoring her as it's only been a few days since she's been on the Metacam. She's since started using all four legs again. Crossing my fingers it was actually somehow nothing serious...
