One of our dogs has torn both his cruciates and had a bilateral TPLO today.
He's staying in at the vets until Friday so he can have all the drugs and then will be back in our busy (4 children, 2 dogs, 2 cats, etc) house where he will be crated and on lead only for the next 8 weeks.
He's used to having 60-90 minutes of off lead exercise with our other dog a day, so it's going to be difficult for both of them.
Some of you must have been through having to crate rest a large active dog for this long before, has anyone got any hints or tips.
There will be a lot of physiotherapy involved I should think, so I guess that will make things more interesting for him, plus I'm going to feed him from a kong 3x a day, rather than twice but what else can I do to keep him from getting bored?
