Lcp HI everyone, This is my first post. I have a question or 2 about LCP. Can anyone tell me how LCP is confirmed? Also, is it truly nessacary to have a bone biopsy done on the dog ro prove it is hereditary? Thanks for you help, Mini_Paw |
Hello ????? Anhyone out there? Mini_paw |
What is LCP? |
if you look in the seach engine, you will find lots of post on this. someone will be here soon to help you. it is still early. |
Yes I have looked in the search engines on the internet. I was hoping I could get expertise of a breeder or pet owner that maybe has had experience in this. LCP is Legg Calves Perthes- it is a degeneration of the fermur head in one or both back hips. My 10 month old Yorkie (3.8lbs) was recently diagnosed with the begining stages of LCP. My breeder feels it is from an accident (NOT) and will not replace or refund until a bone biopsy is done to prove it is genetic/hereditary. Nor is the breeder willing to assist with the surgery/s. I don't feel it is nessacary to have this done and put the pup through so many surgeries-(the biopsy-the surgery to remove the femur head-spay) to prove its inheredited. Looking forward to any help I can get at this point. Mini_paw |
I'm sorry your baby needs surgery, but at least you caught it early. I do not know much about the testing so I can't help you there. Do you have a contract stating that there is a guarantee against hereditary diseases? If so, then you might want to consider doing the test if it is going to save you a lot of money. If you do not have a contract stating this, then there probably is not much you can do to make the breeder help you and I would not do the test. Sorry I can't be more help, but we send our best wishes. |
There was no contract signed, (this was a friend of a friend breeder that I trusted to lead me right) but on their website they state "we stand behind each and every one of our pups with a life time genetic guarantee". Mini_paw |
