FINALLY! We bring our boy home today. We have been instructed to keep him confined in a pen, so that he cannot try to stand up, for as long as 2 weeks! We thought this was going to be the most difficult part- trying to keep our mischevious pup laying down for 2 weeks. But, he definitely knows that standing up is difficult for his back legs, and balancing his front is now foreign to him.
We bring him home around noon after consulting with the doctor about his medications (all four of them!) and put him in our makeshift pen. We put a futon mattress on our dining room floor, with closet doors closing in on two sides, walls on the other two. He rests well during the day, but keeps us up all night. Andy sleeps in the pen with him as I crash out on the couch. At about 4am, we switch places. He seems agitated- I'm assuming he's just exhausted from barely sleeping in the hospital.
