Pixie was fine during and after her confinement, but she was 4 1/2 years old and not an active dog. My surgeon only had her on crate rest for 6 weeks. By the 2nd week she could walk pretty normal. I would let her walk for short periods of time. Also, I kept her "sister" with her so she had her pal with her. By the 6 th week she was back to normal. |
