After reading up on the condition, I have more questions than answers. A lot of times we are in shock when a vet brings up these things, and do not ask all the questions we should. Ollie does not appear to have most of the clinical signs of Lumbosacral. Did the vet see something unusual on the X-rays, that lead him to believe this was the problem?
If not, I would probably try a conservative route first. Meaning a chiropractor, and Acupuncture.
My dogs have seen a chiropractor many times when their gait was not correct. They have been my go to, before considering my regular vet. So far a alignment. has been all that was needed. So no pain meds, or rest needed. A couple of months ago Heifer’s sacral was out of alignment. Other things out of alignment have been shoulders, hocks, wrist, rib, even the head once.
