Hi,
Mia's surgery is Thursday on both knees. The vet suggested I leave her for the first 3 days to rehab her but she would be unattended from 6 pm to 7 am the next day, everyday. I did not feel comfortable with this so I asked the surgeon if it was ok to take her home after the surgery and then take her back in the morning for rehab to which he agreed. If any one has been through this process, I would really appreciate your help regarding the following:

1- Do I need to purchase a soft crate to bring her home in or can I carry her home 1/2 block (by car of course)

2- She sleeps with me now, will she be able to sleep with us or do I need to crate her?

3- What should I expect the first couple of nights?

4- Etc....

I really appreciate your help!!! Really anxious,

Chris
