    Week 4 Post TPLO Surgery - Need a back pack

    The Rehab Vet recommended that our Lab wear a back pack to increase the benefit of his walking now. DH didn't ask her to recommend one. Anyone have one that they have used that evenly distributes the weight?

    From what I've seen in recommendations in the past, Ruffwear has a lot of choices. Which one would be appropriate for you're situation, I'm not sure.

    We've been through two TPLOs and nothing like that was recommended. Not saying it's bad, but after paying for that surgery, I'd save my money...

    ETA...we also didn't use a rehab vet the second time around. Rehab is awesome and certainly has its purposes, but I think you can do TPLO recovery without it. First vet we paid for a ton of extras post-surgery, and second vet we didn't and had much better results.

    Hope recovery goes great for you!
