Awww..Labradoodles are so cute.  And a tripawd Labradoodle is beyond adorable!

Sorry you find yourself  here though.  You are in the right place for support and a lot of information and tips.

The link Jerry gave you has lots of information.  Also Loving Life On Three Legs is helpful.

As Jerry said, Ypyou'll want to have a strong and confident  energy  around Bo.    When younp pick him up, don't  even bother to look at his incision  or draw attention  to it.  Jist five him a great big hug and tell him he's going home and he is a very good boy!

Hopefully  your Vet will jave him on a food pain management   plan.  The first couple  of days he'll have strong  hosp meds in him.  When they wear off though is when you may have to tweak his pain meds to ensure he's comfortable.   It is MAJOR surgery!  Watch for pain signals .  

The first two weeks, rest, rest, rest, short leashed potty breaks and more rest.  No jumping,  no running  etc.  

If you have hardwoods you'll want  nonslip scatter rugs for traction .   Raised food bowls are good to prevent strain.  

Peeing and drinking  are important,  but he may not feel like eating much and he may not poop for a few days.

Bo will recover at his own pace.  He may have a few face plants, but he'll get his sea legs and become  more and more stable with  his new gait.

You may need a towel sling at first.  Then again, some dogs just freeze up if you try to help them.  Just follow Bo's lead. 

STAY CONNECTED!  We are here to help you navigate  through recovery and onto celebrating  all his many victories!  When you have a chance to catch your breath give us an update.  Try and get some resr  yourself, okay?

Hugs

Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle and Frankie too!

Yep, ditto Jerry re pain meds.  My Happy Hannah got off them around the two week mark, maybe a bit before.  In her case though, I had to add a lower dose back for about another week (so a total of three weeks, but at a reduced  amount at the third week).

I think tripawd Griffin was off his pain meds after the first week. 

So there ya'  have it.....every dog is different...no right or wrong....no rush to get off pain meds....no rush to add back in......whatever works for your Bo!!👍
