She is on 45 day 'restricted activity', meaning no stairs, running, jumping on furniture, etc. We watch her pretty close, and if we see that she is too active then we crate her to slow her down. So far so good. Right knee was grade 4 and left was grade 2.

The only thing that worries me about her is that now that she's shaved from the surgery, we can see just how skinny she is. Like other peanuts, she just doesn't eat much and never has. She looks so frail.
OMG I know how it is..Izzy has pancreatitis and was pretty bad this past November and the vet had to shave her leg to get the IV in her. OMG when I went to see her all I could see were her skinny legs. Her hair is just now growing in where you can't tell now. These little ones (she is not even 3#) are so fragile and it seems that these little ones get the sickest.
