This is how it was last time and he said it would be the same recovery period as last time. After she is cleared for physical therapy I plan to put her in a pen that gives her just a slight more room where she can lay on the dog bed or on the floor. Is the Valium for me or her? Lol |
I'm prescribing the Valium for BOTH
. One for you, one for her
. It's only fair!
Yeah, Wylie wasn't allowed to run or fetch for a good while, that's for sure. But he wanted Wylie slow-walking quite soon after the bandages came off, to make sure mobility wasn't impaired from inactivity. We didn't do any crate rest, but luckily it wasn't tough keeping him quiet / not running. My biggest fear was him trying to jump down when we had him up on the bed. I hope Callie does great w/ her healing, I know she'll do great w/ you keeping her entertained.
