| Need suggestions for type of toys my Yorkie can use to exercise his mind while being crate bound for 10-12 weeks. I have the small Kong already but wondering if there are other types to consider in case he gets bored with the Kong pretty quick. Sam had his second ACL surgery in less than a year. The vet scolded me for not being more dilegent with the crate restriction the first time around. I am guilty and I feel so bad that my actions of not doing the crate restricting his movement caused him to need a second surgery. I have to do things 100% right this time but keeping a highly active dog in jail for that long is going to take its toll on him. |

| 10-12 weeks seems like a very long time. Callie had an ACL tear repaired as well as LP surgery in her right leg and she only had to be on crate rest for 8weeks. Instead of using a crate though I bought a baby play pen and kept it in the living room where some one was pretty much all the time so she could see people and we were able to reach in and pet her and stuff. She mostly wanted to sleep for a long time but then I would give her bully bones.

| Gosh, that seems so harsh for a dog to have to go though. Is there any other train of thought on recovering after the surgery? Does he have to be in the crate all the time? |
