 LPsurgery
First it was very caring of you to adopt this little girl and take care of her.
What surgery did she have on her knees, was it for luxating patellas or something else? I ask as you say later that the vet says it looks like LPs??
If she did have LP surgery I have not heard of having to get physical therapy post op for that.....but I may be wrong?
Usually post op one has to keep the dog quiet, confined, and limit activity that could hurt the knees...no jumping etc. it sounds like you are doing all these things. Also sometimes one has to take steps to prevent the dog licking the wound, but often that is not needed.
I assume you will be having a follow up visit soon with a vet you trust and that she will do well.
Many here have experience with LP surgery and I am sure they will be able to better help you, but I think a vet visit would be in order soon to check on her progress. Good luck and I hope she gets better soon and that you have a very happy life with her. |
