He isn't overweight or anything so I know to keep him that way. He does have insurance so if something does happen and he needs surgery at some point I have that luckily because I do know that LP puts more strain on their CCLs. I hope he lives his life with no problems though. He is the 3rd out of 4 to get their check up and blood work this year and the 3rd to be perfect so hopefully next month when Penny gets hers she will also have perfect blood work. I'm just super bummed about the LP. |
Well you could look at it this way. It's better to find out now and try to minimize the risk of further degradation of the joint. My Razzle had LP and I elected to treat it holistically. That thing I got a knee brace reduced his running particularly on any kind of wet grass. Also as you know we do a lot of swimming in the summertime as well as dock jumping. I do let him go up and down only five stairs. My house is all stairs with two levels having 15 stairs each. If you tell me and measure his leg I will know if my brace would fit for your dog and would be happy to parcel post it to you for individual adjustment and you learning how to take it on take it off etc.
Well you know how to reach me here if you want to talk on the phone I can private message you my phone number
Bye for now
