I wouldn’t. LP puts extra strain on the CCL and you could end up doing the surgery for LP and then a year later their CCL could tear and then having to do another surgery, it happened to me and it’s no uncommon. LP surgery is a rough surgery with 8-12 weeks of crate rest and very painful even with all the pain meds they give.
