Best of luck. My only advice would be to heed your vet's advice on rehab. Here are some of the things my vet had me do when mine had leg surgery:

* Create a small space, maybe 10-foot long, and keep him in there when you're not directly supervising. I used an X-pen. Put padding on the floor -- maybe an old sleeping bag. Make it as comfortable as possible with a bed (or crate) on one side and a pee pad or litter box on the other.

* Don't allow any walking on hard floors -- wood or linoleum.

* Don't give in when your pup starts getting restless. Sometimes, the rehabbing has to go on for weeks and weeks.

Your vet may have different advice based on the type of surgery. Mine was a cranial cruciate injury.

Good luck! They do recover quickly if you follow the vet's rules.
