  • How long is recovery after a TPLO surgery?

    The recovery period for TPLO surgery typically spans eight to 12 weeks, provided the healing process progresses as anticipated. The initial four weeks require strict confinement to ensure proper healing.

  • Why do I need to confine my pet after surgery?

    Confinement after surgery is crucial for your pet's proper healing. Excessive movement can lead to complications such as increased discomfort, incision reopening, tendon inflammation, and potential failure of surgical implants.

  • Does my pet need to wear an e-collar (cone) after surgery?

    Yes, it's essential for your pet to wear an e-collar continuously post-surgery. This prevents them from licking or biting the incision site, which could result in infection. If an infection occurs, additional surgical intervention may be necessary.
