Lea has her appointment with the vet today to get an official diagnosis. I spoke with her vet over the phone and she said that LP was most likely the culprit. SO once she gets checked out today, if LP is confirmed, she's got another appointment on Thursday with an orthopedic surgeon. I'm going to be out of town for a week and a half starting Sunday, so the surgery will have to wait until I return. I'm so sad...this is her first Summer and I really wanted her to enjoy the outside and run around like a normal pup. Does anyone know how long it may take for her to recover from this? Do they put a cast on her? I just can't imagine anyone opperating on such a teeny little leg!
