I took my son with me when I picked Murphy up after surgery because I couldn't imagine how I was going to get him into the car.  I figured that the hospital probably had a cart or something, but I wasn't sure.  Murphy had his front leg removed due to histiocytic sarcoma.  Well, 24 hours after surgery he came hopping out that door, pulling on the leash like, "let's get out of this place!" He even hopped into the car by himself!  We got home, the other dogs sniffed him all over, he went outside and peed for about 5 minutes, then he came in to take a long nap.  They are totally amazing.

Since Molly is getting a rear leg removed, you probably don't need the raised dishes, that mostly helps the front-leg dogs.  Definitely the rugs or something on the floors.  A good harness, like the Ruff Wear - it has a handle on the top to help lift her which is so helpful.  As long as it doesn't hit where her staples are, you can use it right away, otherwise you'll want to wait until she's healed.  We have a ranch-style house, but we have a couple of areas where there is just 1 step, like into the family room or by the front door.  I put a tap light by each of those areas so that at night when we would turn off the lights, I would touch those on & it would light the step.  That way if Murphy walked around in the dark it was just enough light to let him see the depth of the step & act as a reminder for him so he wouldn't stumble.  I just used them until the batteries wore out. 

Make sure you keep the medications going around the clock for even coverage.  You can use ice packs to the incision a couple times a day for about 10-20 minutes to help reduce swelling.  And massaging around the area to re-absorb the extra fluids.  Murphy didn't really want to eat, so I cooked some rice & poured chicken broth over it, then added some chunks of chicken to it.

And keep in touch, we'll be here for you.  Odds are that whatever you're going through, someone's been there, done that.

I have three of the Big Barker beds for Otis.   Bought the first one three years ago when he was first diagnosed with arthritis - I actually bought the other two because I was getting ready to throw the first one away.   Fortunately, I didn't, because it is still his favorite bed.   During the first few recovery days, he pretty much just moved from bed to bed - one is in the family room, and the other two are in the "living" room, which is where we all sleep now.

Ignore the negative comments, and look at the pictures and videos that people have posted of their tripawds doing what dogs do.  I saw one with a group of dogs and I couldn't even tell which one was the tripawd!   She won't be struggling on three legs (ok, maybe for the 1st ten days while she acclimates), but living life to the fullest!
