awww....feel better soon Sunshine!

If you search my posts, you'll find alot of info on LP. I'm assuming, since both knees were done at once, that your Vet deepened the knee groove and tightened the ligament or did he mention anything about pinning the tibia?

That would make a huge difference in the rehab.

I would be keeping her crated and/or an expen except for 3 short, 5 minute, leashed walks a day. Her walks should be very slow and encouraging her to bear maximum weight.

If she needs assistance, I've found that belly strap they send you home with to hold them up is terribly awkward. I use a thin scarf around their bellies and can control the amount of weight on the back legs.
