I'm glad to hear Lulu is doing well after her surgery.

I am right there with ya about crate rest being tough. When my vet suggested the same thing for Gilmore for his LP I thought to myself- OMG- how am I am going to last 10 days. Now because he had the surgery we are on 3 months of crate rest. I shouldn't have complained LOL.

Crate rest is so tough. Tough on us and tough on them. I have found that putting the crate on bins in the room I am in makes him more at eye level which I think makes him feel more a part of everything and not so isolated like he was on the floor. I also sit with him on the couch a lot with a leash on him and wrapped around my wrist so he can't jump up.

I hope that she feels better and you won't have to do the surgery.
