🐾 A successful TPLO doesn’t end when the surgery is over ➡️ it starts there.
TPLO surgery is one of the most effective procedures for restoring stability and mobility after a CCL injury, but the outcome depends on more than what happens in the operating room.
Choosing an experienced surgical team lays the foundation for success. The next step? Following recovery instructions closely at home.
✔️ Keeping the cone on (even when your pet gives you that look)
✔️ Protecting the incision from licking or chewing
✔️ Sticking to strict activity restriction and confinement
✔️ Limiting potty breaks to short, controlled leash walks
We know it’s tough. We know your pet starts acting like they’re “all better” before they’re truly healed. But we can often tell when recovery instructions haven’t been followed and unfortunately, so can the incision and the X-rays.
The weeks after surgery are just as important as the procedure itself. Your commitment during recovery gives your pet the best chance for a strong, complication-free return to the activities they love.
Healing is a team effort, and we’re with you every step of the way. 🐾
