Again, I would like to say this: I have had a few pups with this surgery and every single one of them recovered very well and needed absolutely no rehab afterwards. Not that rehab is bad, but it is costly and for this surgery not necessary in every case. I use a board certified surgeon and he has sent me to his physical therapist for other surgeries....so it is not that he is not into rehab. My Adina was up and walking on her leg the next day. Her incision was only about 1" long (very small) and she did fantastic...but of course, I think the surgeon I use is awesome. I hope all goes well.. I saw your plans with your floor...sounds like you have all bases covered well for after care.
