Different orthopedic surgeons give different discharge information. The surgeon i work for has way different directions from what Gracie's mom was sent home with. Her vet says to start walking after 4 weeks. My vet says walks can begin the day of discharge. Its an important recovery tool. There are also passive range of motion exercises that can be done. No running, jumping, playing for 90 days. no beds or furniture, anything they can jump on or off of. no stairs for 1 month. if you would like more detailed information i'd be more then happy to help you out. You can PM me. Good luck with the surgery!
