Try not to worry so much about her getting up. The narcotics & anesthesia make everything a bit foggy. I picked Isabelle up the day after surgery, she had made no attempt to get up & wouldn't eat. She had to be carried to the car & looked miserable….before we were out of the parking lot she was up & digging in the bag with her food. When we got home, she wouldn't walk again. I carried her in, set her up on her bed & went back to the car. I came back & she was up & down 4 stairs into my bedroom, on her own. She just didn't like the sling harness.

The Power Paws socks were really helpful until she figured things out. Don't be afraid to let her fall sometimes. That's how they figure out how not to. There's a short video of Isabelle on the Power Paws testimonial page on the website, from 2 days after surgery.

I was following her around too, I even pulled up her other bed to sleep next to her the first night…she thought I was crazy & left me there!

Best of luck to you both. Bella will be back to herself soon.
