I'm not doubting that the LP repair has an easier time healing, it's a much simpler surgery. What surprises me is how Bella is allowed to do certain things that are not allowed with LP replair + TPLO.

Statements like this make me cringe: "She will use her leg when she's walking or running slowly, but she still picks it up when she is running more quickly." That is so risky. She should not be allowed to run at all, no access to stairs, and confined and restricted.

According to page 7 of your rehab document:

**** WARNING****
During all times outside of therapy STRICT CONFINEMENT is MANDATORY.
It is extremely important to follow this protocol as closely as possible to ensure proper recovery. Any form of rambunctious activity is PROHIBITED during this critical recovery period.

I'm not telling you what to do, she's not my dog, and I'm glad she is doing so well. It just brings back the feelings of how paranoid I was post-op that I would fail to properly control Jezebel and then find that she had jumped on the sofa or would run, even for a short distance, and then mess things up and have to go back into surgery.
