I am hoping that some of you that have experienced a Luxating patella surgery with their furkids can answer this one for me.
I know that it may vary with different individual dogs, but what IS the recovery time for this surgery. I mean FULL recovery. Shelby is having BOTH of her back legs done on Thursday. Vet said 12-16 weeks. (sometimes longer, depending on the dog)
I am hoping that she will be able to resume normal activities by Memorial Day. (that is about 13 weeks). Do ya think that this "goal" will be asking too much?? We don't have any plans, but I would like to start making some. So, what do ya think???
