My RB Cody had the same surgery..on both knees...a few months apart. He ruptured his left knee from favoring it because his right knee went first

He was always stoic and never complained. But he was pretty uncomfortable with his surgeries. After a few days, he was much better so I decreased the pain meds until he needed none at all.

We kept him in our downstairs family room, where we all congregated so he wasn't alone, since he always wanted to be with us. A back door was there (yay) with no steps. We baby gated the steps going upstairs but he pretty much understood and just laid on his blankets. I used a newspaper plastic bag to cover his leg so it wouldn't get wet, or his foot dirty.

I know..10 weeks seems like an eternity. I felt worse for Cody than myself, since he couldn't have his walkies or tennis ball fun outside. But he was a wonderful patient. Since he couldn't hang out in the kitchen (my bad), he lost around 25 pounds which was awesome. I also cut his portions since he was inactive. I also slept with him.

Oreo will be fine. Just be very careful afterwards. He'll want to run and play more than likely, so you have to be very careful. Cody never had any problems afterwards (with the knees)

Kisses and hugs to everyone!
