Client Instructions


TitanŐs recovery is highly dependent on post-operative care, so we ask that you follow 
these instructions very carefully and if you find that this is going to be a problem, please 
contact us for assistance. Titan will go home after spending one night with us so that we 
can monitor his progress and recovery from surgery. He will have an incision with 
sutures, covered by a soft padded bandage. The bandage will help to decrease his comfort 
and discourage him from using the leg too soon. Please restrict TitanŐs activity to leash 
walks only for two to three months. Additionally, he should be confined to a kennel 
anytime he is not on a leash. In two weeks we will remove the bandage an sutures and 
evaluate the healing process. Titan should begin using the leg at this time and we will 
instruct you in some physical therapy techniques. Titan will likely develop some degree 
of arthritis, although it should not result in lameness. Please contact us immediately if 
you any questions or concerns.
