Luna is scheduled for knee surgery..... She will have to be on crate rest for weeks and restricted exercise for two months.

My oldest dog had a knee repair a few years back. The time passed pretty quickly. I put a wire crate out on the porch, so she could see us when we were outside, and I walked her on a leash. She doesn't handle pain well so she was pretty cooperative. Hopefully your dog heals quickly and takes it easy.

Thanks. Even though she is a low-energy couch potato, she is only 6 so I am still worried about her getting restless. She also came to us with a fear of being locked in the crate so I hope this doesn't ruin her progress.

Mine was 7. Hadn't been in a crate since 1 year of age, and she did okay. Can she just be confined to a smaller room perhaps if a crate is too stressful?

I might try that if she doesn't do well in the crate. But, crate or not, she will be stressed out not being able to follow us around the house.
