I am scheduled for TTA surgery for a torn CCL.
Mommy has already purchased a large cage to keep me calm and protect me from my brother and sister.
Does anyone have any experiences they could share, or any tips? shrug


Thanks,
Reggie

All I can say is to take it slow and easy. The first few weeks of recovery are key to getting better.

Thank you Sadie!
I am doing really well. Keeping me quiet is going to be the hardest part for my mom.
I read in your diary that your mommy is going to try to get you to use a ramp. A little tip that might help is to have your mommy lay the ramp flat on the floor and let you walk across it a couple times before you try to walk into your SUV or onto your bed. Sometimes, if you just get used to the feel of it, it makes it easier.
Thanks for your healing advise and I wish you a speedy and complete recovery!
