Hi,
Our 1 year old female cav Muffet has grade 3 patellar luxation in her right hind leg and grade 4 in the left. She sometimes screams in pain if she aggravates it, so we're going to do the surgery.
I understand that it is an 8-10 week recovery period with either direct supervision and control or crate rest.
the question I have is kind of gross. How do dogs eliminate during this period? It seems like the Robert Jones bandage that they'll use on both legs pretty much makes squatting impossible.
