My poor Fritz overshot the back of the sofa in the keeping room and landed on the hardwood floor. He now has to have knee surgery on his right rear leg. I'm so worried about him. I don't really know what to expect as to his recovery. Can anyone give me some advice?

Oh no! Poor Fritz...

I believe it's cage rest and on leash walks for potty only... the vet will give you printed detailed instructions when he's ready to go home.

Keeping Fritz in my prayers...

His surgery is scheduled for the 29th. I'll be home from work for spring break.

Poor Baby Fritz. I hope he feels better soon.

Your poor baby boy! Praying for a successful surgery and full recovery for Fritz.

Sorry I can't be more explicit... I don't know exactly what surgery is being done. Your vet may not know until he gets in there... and sometimes vets have their own protocols they prefer to follow. It is good that you'll be home though. I'm sure that'll make Fritz feel way better sooner!

Poor baby!

Oh poor guy. You might have to crate him. Make sure you ask you vet about it before his surgery so if you need anything you can pick it up. Sending good thoughts.

I will be praying for Fritz. Give him lots of love during his recovery and attention. Glad you will be with him for awhile after surgery.

poor fritz, hope he recovers well

Poor Fritz, will be keeping you and him in my prayer's. I am glad you will be home with him after surgery. These babies are so frail, Doesn't take much to hurt them. And it's almost impossible to keep them down off of thing's. Praying for a full recovery for both of you.

HA, You are so right. For some reason they think they are mountain lions or something. They always want to be up high.
