Did the Vet give you pain meds?

Roxy had a morphin patch on her leg for about 4-5 days or so. Then I gave her an oral Pain Med for about 3 weeks.

Also, I kept Roxy contained for the 8 week recovery in a small x-pen. For the first week, I didn't let her walk really, only to do potty. The next week she could do a little more and so on. But for the most part she was contained in the x-pen or I carried her. I had to do some leg stretches and such, but no running, playing, jumping, basicly no normal yorkie life for 8 weeks.

I hope she continues to get better soon!
