So sorry to hear about your little one. We went thru lp surgery and Hot Rod had to keep quiet for 6 weeks! Lots of bully sticks! lol.
Seriously, we did do the bully sticks and a couple of his favorite soft toys. We wound up holding him quite a bit in those six weeks as well as had him in a crate.
But we knew that it was for the best in the long run. What I've found out know, some 7 mos post surgery...his leg muscles are atrophied. Since finding this out last month, we tried walking him more and it has helped. The surgeon said that it could take up to a year for him to get back to normal. But he has definitely improved after his surgery. Good luck with your baby. It's tough, I understand. Hugs.
