Hello Welcome to Dodgerslist. My name is Linda, what's yours.
Sorry to hear Katy had to have surgery and glad to hear shes doing great.
Is Katy currently walking or on any meds?
Is she still on crate rest and are you doing any PT

Is she walking now? Are you doing any PT. It is good that you are reading as it is a disease Katy will have for life.

Katy, it sounds like Katy is doing fantastic this soon after surgery - she's walking and has bladder control already! We look forward to hearing how her recovery goes. As Linda said, what we usually see for post-op care is 6 weeks of crate rest. The dog is allowed out for potty breaks and whatever PT your surgeon prescribed. While she is on crate rest, think about safeguarding your home for the IVDD dog: www.dodgerslist.com/literature/protectback.htm We have an excellent IVDD dvd available for only $3 including shipping. It's great to have on hand to show to family/friends/petsitters so they will know what they can and cannot do with your dog and how they can help: www.dodgerslist.com/store/DVDorder.htm We look forward to your next update. Best wishes, ~Lisa |
