I am so glad you went to see a board certified surgeon. My Jezebel had luxating patellas and tore the CCL in one knee. Her surgery and post-op care and rehab was so different from what you described in your first post.

Firstly, there were two separate procedures, one to fix the LP and another (TPLO) to fix the torn ligament.

Second, there was no rehab during the first two weeks. She was only allowed to walk (on-leash) for potty breaks, otherwise she was confined. After she got her stitches removed @ 2 weeks post-op, THEN she was allowed to do rehab. It was simply 2-3 sessions of on-leash walks per day. The first week of rehab each session was 5 minutes, the second week was 10 minute sessions, the third week was 15 minute sessions, etc increasing by 5 minutes each week until she reached 25-30 minutes per session. That is all the rehab she required, and she is doing great now.

Also great to know they have staff there 24 hours. It made me feel good that she would be in their hands overnight so that when it came to pain management they would have it all figured out by the time I picked her up.

Praying for a very successful surgery and quick healing.
