Thank you for the great information. It has put my mind at ease somewhat to know that others have had no major problems after the surgery. I don't know which procedure they are doing to fix the ligament, but I was told for the small dogs they usually do the less invasive fix. She comes home the same day so I hope she will be ok.
I do have a doggy playpen I bought when she was a puppy and I plan on using that to keep her in because otherwise I have no doubt she'd not take it easy. She seems to be able to sense movement outside and bolts to the front door to look out the small side window. She also is prone to leap off my lap for the same reason even when I have heard nothing. Did you find that your dogs were content to sleep a lot and stay in a stroller or playpen? I don't understand how you used the leash, do you mean you leashed her in the different rooms you were in so that you could keep an eye on her? Also, how long was it before you were able to do small walks outside?
Thank you.
