Both our girls have LP to some degree, so we began checking into options. We found a vet office in the Dallas areathat has a surgeon come in to do the LP surgeries and the cost runs about $500-600 per leg. You have to been seen by the local vet and if surgery is needed, the vet will schedule you with the surgeon.

We were about to see the surgeon with Magic...as she was not responding to any medicines and was having trouble several times a day....but the last medication they gave her worked and she is not currently having any troubles.

I do know there are specialists in the Dallas area that charge more than $2000 per leg.

Good luck in your search for options!
