Weight Management
Our heeler mix (putting it kindly, he looks like a dingo) needs CCL. Vet has recommended TPLO. Post op sounds daunting. Vet recommended getting crate ASAP to get him used to confinement (surgery in just over 10 weeks). Post op crate to restrict furniture climbing, chasing cat, etc, for 8 weeks. He only goes out to relieve himself and we understand this will need to be done with leash for total post op time. He loves to run and play with his rope strenuously. The crate (Isis) I saw was only 24in high with open top. Dog weighs 32 lbs. and is 7 years old. Please comment on post op crates for dog this age and size.
Hi Kathy -
These are the 2 crates we used during post op. The small one to start (indoors) and the larger one as we got further along in the process. The larger one was used outdoors.
Crates & Pens
We have a 12 1/2 year old Causian Mountain dog that has a torn cucile ligamant. Our vet has recommended that she not have surgery. She gave us this wesite. Madline weighs 76#’s. I know that the article you don’t recommend a brace for dogs 40+ pounds. Madline is in goog health. We would like to know the procrdures costs and time involved?
Please let us know where you are located and if you think you can help Madline.
Respectfullu;
Stephen M. Gill
