Crate Resting Your Pet After Spinal Surgery

The most important component of recovery after spinal surgery is confinement. Your dog should remain crated at all times, only being carried in/out to urinate/defecate. Large dogs may be walked with a sling or short leash.

Struggling with bathroom breaks for a male Corgi. The sling blocks him from urinating no matter how thin I make it, but without it he is unsupported because he cannot use his back legs. It’s so confusing 😭

What is the recommendation for a cat undergoing spinal surgery for IVDD? Is a 10ft x 12ft room that is empty (besides pet bed, litter box, food/water) and window sills completely blocked off still too large?

Hi there. A metal crate with a top is recommended for both dogs and cats to allow your pet to see out and you to see in, while preventing your pet from tearing it, knocking it over, or climbing/jumping out. The appropriate size is 2-3 times the size of your pet, so that your pet can stand up, turn around, and move away from an accident, but can’t run, jump, or stand on hind legs.
