I looked it up, talked to the vets, now asking the REALLY informed.... Has anybody had their dog go through a vertebrae lactimectomy? What was the result? What was the recovery time? How did that compare with other type of dislocated vertebrae surgeries? This may be a consideration on one of my dogs and just preparing myself and learning the questions to ask.
