| Re: Preparing for TPLO
Banja had the BiteNot collar instead of the E collar and it was WONDERFUL! We were given a sling by the vet, and only used it for a few days.
If you are unable to SAFELY (for you and the dog) lift her into the car by yourself (for follow-up appointments), buy a dog ramp, and get her used to using it now. She will be unable to jump in/out and you need a way to transport her for both follow-ups and emergencies. If you're not already using a crate in the car, get one (if it will fit) and start using it. No way better to trash an expensive surgery than to stop short with a loose dog in the car.
