I never do LP surgeries except on young pups!!! The reason not to do it in adults is because the knee is unstable and has been wearing on the cruciate ligament.

So sorry I misread your post. If your surgeon is not board certified, I would get a second opinion before doing anything else!!

That’s what happened to Callie fixed the knee and a year later CCL tore.
