I was fortunate with Gus, didn't realy have anything major to deal with, but I will try to offer a couple things. What meds is Bradley on, does he seem in pain, I would assume not if he is laying on the incision, Gus didn't do that for weeks. But maybe he is doped up from the meds. Do you have the floors so he can't slip. How is his appetite, will he go to his bowl to eat. This is where you wish they could talk. Is he drinking ok, watch for dehydration. How about pee and poop, any action there and if so does he ask to go out for that. This is the hard part, trying to figure these guys out at this stage. They do make a harness to help you with moving these guys, several here have had good luck with that, might help you move him. Your sure there isn't any sign of infection, although if swelling is down that would seem unlikely. I think the meds they have them on for  and after surgery seem to hide pain better, and thats just my own observation, it sure seems like alot of dogs come " bouncing " out when we pick them up, and a couple days later have crashed. maybe in his case this is how he will act while he heals since they are all different. Hopefully maybe someone else can offer some advice.

I don't have any experience with them not moving around, but I do agree that it could be the meds have him a little looped and possibly feeling too uncoordinated to really walk. Maddie did quite a bit of just standing and staring like she wasn't sure what to do on the first couple of days, after backing off the pain meds some she seemed fine.

Can you tell if he is in any pain. I'm guessing no as well since he's laying on that side. Maddie really wanted to lay in hers (as it is her favorite side) but couldn't until about day #10.

I think he maybe slightly over medicated for him to feel ok about walking. What is he on?

Thanks for all of the responses everyone!

Bradley is on trammadol (that ubiquitous doggy painkiller), we have gone down to every 8 hours.  I pushed it to 12 from last night to this morning and that did not go well, so we're going to stick with every 8 hours for now. 

He's not really wanting to go to his bowls to eat or drink, but I think that's because I haven't had a chance to get good runners for him.  I've been using shelf liners around the house, but they really aren't wide enough.  Hopefully, my husband will have a chance to get to Lowe's tonight and pick up the ones that I found online.  He's gone out to go to the bathroom some, and figured out the whole turning aorund on the couch thing.  I guess I'm just wondering when he's going to start charging around like his old self, and no one can predict that.

Dakota Dawg, thanks for the idea with the sling.  Fortunately or unfortuantely, he's feeling good enough to throw all of his weight against it, plaster himself to the floor, and look at me like "you think you're going to get me to go anywhere against my will?  You have lost your mind!" I've been treating Bradley with kid gloves because I'm afraid I might knock him over, or somehow bother his incision.  Maybe I don't need to be quite so careful.  Tomorrow will be one week post op, so hopefully things will start to pick up…

Thanks again all!
