you got that right- recovery is rough. I would strongly advise you getting a play pen. walmart has a nice one less than 30.00. My little one had the surgery and it was hell to get her through it. i moved the play pen all over the house (it had wheels) in the bedroom she slept in it next to my bed. I padded it real good and put her fav blanket and toy in their wth her. after the surgery they are down for a few weeks. The first week was murder for us, after that- "keeping" them down becomes rough bc it is the scar tissue that forms that helps the surgery be sucessful. my little one had a rough time bc they sent us home without torbetrol (pain meds) make sure you leave the vet after surgery with the pain meds.
i have pics of my little ones surgery-if i can figure out how to do it I will post them in a few days. |
