Can you keep the box in your lap or buy one of those little airline carrier with the hard shell and wire-door and put her in that, keep it in your lap when she frets? You are probably going to have to buy a crate and sit on the floor beside her and keep sticking little chew sticks through the cage to keep her trying to chew on them, sticking toys through that she can lie down and paw at, sticking your fingers in to quieten her. I am sure your vet has some ideas about how to achieve the state that he needs for her. I think I would ask the vet for a tiny bit of tranquilizer to help take the nervous edge off her as it's probably awful for this baby to be so amped to play and can't. Getting some of the raw edge taken off with a very mild sedative might help a lot. With the airline carrier, you could put that in a stroller and take her for walks outside and to the mall, etc. and carry it from room to room with her in it. Taking her in it to the bathroom and kitchen, out in the yard, etc., and give her lots to look at could help keep her busy looking. That's all I can think of right now. I hope this little one feels better but do whatever you have to keeping her as inactive and quiet as possible so she won't have a weak or gimpy leg.
