| One week post LP Op Question Layla will be 1 week post op tomorrow. I made her a small space about 3 feet by 3 feet with baby gates. Is this space size ok? She is basically just laying down and sleeping in it but I wanted her to have somewhere other than her buggy to hang out. She will not be in here all day nor will she be left alone in it. I thought it might be ok for her to spend a few hours a day in. Does this sound ok? |

| Sounds ok to me....just be sure that she has something non skid to walk on. As long as she is quiet she should do fine.

| She could do that in the stroller! As for limping, they do that off and on for a long time....sometimes up to one year. Try to relax ... I know it is hard...been there a few times with surgery and I always worry.

Good to know about the limping. Today I didn't think she had much of a limp and thought we were done with that but I didn't know it could continue. Thanks so much for all of your help! | |

| Our surgeon told us that a the biggest area that would be allowed was a 3 x 3 area. I closed up Hot Rod's pen accordingly but he had started to stand on his hinds with his front paws on the sides to try and get at us so that didn't work for us. I wound up putting his crate on the table next to me on the sofa. That was pitiful so I wound up laying him on a blanket, put his harness on him, attached a neck lanyard to him and wrapped it around my wrist so I could catch him if he got up or tried to get off. This worked better for us and when I was more comfortable with holding him, I let him lay on a pillow next to me on the sofa with the harness set up. Glad that Layla is progressing and healing.
