Another help if Bear gets worked up when crated is to buy a small xpen (we adjusted our down to 4 square feet) so that he doesn't feel so confined. Our surgeon also had us but a towel or blanket under the crate to avoid slipping. With a bed, potty pad, food, and water, they have everything they need.
We are 22 days post-op, and Gracie is not sure why we are keeping her confined or in our arms
-it has something to do with the fact that she has already escaped and run down the stairs and jumped off the sofa!
