Day 2 of crate rest

[The Midgets]

Dear doG! Jackson is feeling better and more alert today so all I've heard is poor pitiful me moans from the crate. He has tried to scratch/dig himself out and is giving me sad eyes. This is going to be rough!

Good news.....made some chicken and rice and he scarfed it down. Now to deal with going potty. His back legs are still weak so he does not really stand, I'm not sure how this is going to work. Pee pads everywhere in the crate.

Ear plugs, stroller and frozen kongs help!

Here's a post that Lisa did about using a sling to help them when they are weak in the rear after surgery or crate rest for IVDD. It might help you.

Patience, frozen Kongs, ear plugs, and more patience. Be sure he can see you at all times. Hang in there! :crossfin:

How's Jackson?
Good question! Did you figure out a back-leg harness? How is he doing??:bigrayz::bigrayz::bigrayz:

Maybe he wouldn't mind being in an ex-pen made any size you want.

More healing :bigrayz::bigrayz::bigrayz: for Jackson.

Jackson is doing great! He's off all restriction (I'm still Miss Eagle Eye with him) and back to being his "normal" self. He spent a solid hour barking at his ball today, no reason, just cuz he can....brat!
