That is actually not allowed for TPLO recovery. As the incision heals, he will begin to take steps on the leg. He's already doing it sometimes. It's actually a huge change, because he had been a three legged hopping dog for two weeks prior to surgery.
Now the danger is no running, no jumping, no stairs, and no sudden jerky moves. Which is a tall order for a middle aged, high energy lab who loves chasing critters and tug of war. Tucker also goes nuts and jumps around when we have visitors or the doorbell rings. He can't stress the joint until the screws have fully set in the bones and his ligaments and swelling have settled down. And no licking the incision. So he has to be policed every waking moment because he only wears the cone to sleep.
