Hello,
I had 2 large breeds that had TPLO surgeries. Both were done by one of the Veterinarians who developed this wonderful surgery. When I brought them home I didn’t want to crate them only because they were so large they could not stretch out in a crate. I stayed beside them 24/7 with a collar and leash on because once they start to feel better they do dangerous things and down/stay doesn’t last for days! I put boxes around them in a room so that they could only stand up and turn around. As they got better the boxes were removed until they were healed. If your Veterinarian recommend antibiotic I would suggest you use them as this is orthopaedic surgery and right into the bone.
Good luck!
