Oh, I'm so glad you are going to be with your baby post-op and will see to it that he's well cared for and not alone and in pain or having post-op complications or something! Oh, that leg x-ray is awful! That poor, sweet little thing! No little dog should have to undergo such a terrible fall and so much pain! I'm so sickened that this happened to your little Kerneels! Glad you are pursuing the groomer for full payment of the medical costs. Hopefully that will teach them to always securely hold onto a dog up on the grooming table. This almost happened to my Tibbe once when I had him up on the counter, turned to get the scissors or something and he heard a loud noise and bolted off into the air, heading for the floor! Thankfully, I caught him and never again have left him un-secured up on anything high.
When I first got Tibbe & I knew even though he was 9 mos. old, he wasn't yet housebroken, I just used a little hard airline pet carrier with a wire-cage front and actually put it on a chair next to my bed and eventually put it in the bed beside me until I felt he was safe not to pee on the bed. He enjoyed not having to spend his time in his new home down on the floor or off in a crate in another room yet was safe and clean in his carrier. You could use something like that for nights - they are very small and compact and the front is open except for the wire-cage door which your dog can see completely through and you can put your fingers through.
