This is just my opinion, but, being that I have gone through a Bi-Laterial LP surgery for Roxy...I would really suggest doing ONE DOG at a time.

Recovery time, is A LOT of work, especially the Bi-Laterial surgery. Def. for the first 3 to 4 weeks, I had to caryy Roxy around with me and I could barely do anything else cause I only had one hand free. So I could only image having to take care of TWO - Bi-Laterial Surgery Dogs = NO HANDS FREE!

Maybe you can do one dog and then at least wait a couple of weeks (just to get over the 'hump' with the recovery of the first dog) and than do the second dog???
Just something to think about

Best of Luck and keep us posted!
it was recommended by vets office I do both at once, especially as they are playmates and won't be aggravating the other to play when they will both be recuperating. Also these are my babies and I figure I'm not gonna leave the house much for about a month, a month is a long time, can't imagine being locked down for 2 months, I just thought this was best, I could be wrong tho.
I know it will be challenging. Thankyou for your advice. I hope I am doing the right thing.
