We've been so lucky, that he is not bothering with the incision at all. He sniffs at it every now and then, but generally after I remind him to leave it, he does. No dreaded e-Collar for this guy.
We take a couple of little walks up the laneway now, at Webber's urging. He always did like to do his business as far away from the house as possible. Takes about 5 minutes and we usually do it twice in a day. It's great to see, and he is pretty tired after that little bit of exercise.
The beasts must be sensing that our 'watch' dog is keeping a low profile these days and they are getting bold in the yard. Good thing Webber didn't see this one, as he probably would have gone right through the window.
It certainly explains the reason for the blanket over the fort. Distractions for dogs are dangerous at this point.

I have been following your blog (very well done) to see how similar your surgery is two our Cockers. He had both legs done 2 years apart.
Yours is going very similar. We had pet insurance and they hepled out on the cost of the surgery. I remember it costing a total of about $3500. We had two different vet clinics perform the surgies.
One word of caution: We were told that swimming was detrimental to the recovery because of the angle of their swimming action. We did not do any therapy of any sort other than slowing building up walk times.
