My Zada had both knees operated on at the same time. They were both grade 3, so doing just one would put too much stress on the other until it too could be fixed. The hard part for her was the 6 weeks of down time spent in the expen with a 2" foam to walk on for two weeks solid then starting with a couple of minutes on the leash outside to walk around each day for a week, then twice a day for a week, and three times a day for the next week. After that I still kept her on the leash outside, but let her stay out longer each time for the next two weeks. You just don't want to take any chances at damaging the knee/s or that would really be very, very bad. |
