Hi guys,

No emergencies or anything- Moose is fine! Just wanted to post some pictures to this thread so a YT'er could see what I used for a pen after Moose's LP surgery.

We used this pen for him after he started trying to walk around and play again. You obviously want to watch her very closely right after the surgery, which for me was mostly holding Moose- never left his side for the first week I think! But after she starts to walk around and use her legs, and when the surgeon is telling you to confine her and keep her from moving you can use this pen. But plan for lots of holding after the surgery!

The 1st pic you can't see much but just wanted to show you what type of pen we used. If you look closely inside the pen you can see the black mesh topper.

The 2nd one you can see how the mesh topper is attached inside the pen, with zip ties. Its just low enough he can move a little but he can't jump or get on his hind legs which is the most important.

The 3rd is a view from the top. We started out with the bigger size pen but then shortened it to a square.

This of course isn't for everyone but it worked great for us!
