This one-page TPLO discharge and in-hospital checklist covers day-by-day restrictions, PROM starting POD3 (3–5 minutes twice daily), and an analgesia plan: methadone [redacted]/kg premed, cefazolin [redacted]/kg IV q90min intra-op, bupivacaine splash block, then carprofen + gabapentin for 5–7 days. If you want the editable PDF, I can share; I’m also interested in how you time leash walks (I start 5 minutes 3x/day from POD3) and when you taper crate rest after the 8-week recheck.
But one tweak that speeds me up is adding a mini triage line to the Cornerstone flag: ‘reason in 5 words, urgency (green/yellow/red), best number + OK to text, client expectation (call vs portal)’. If that feels long, at least lock urgency and callback — those make us pit‑crew fast; could you also add ‘last dose/weight’ on refills?
I text owners a 30‑second PROM demo the morning after discharge so your ‘POD3 (3–5 minutes twice daily)’ happens — , otherwise it turns into toe‑flicking. Small tweak: if the dog’s groggy on carprofen + gabapentin, I switch gabapentin to nights only by day 3 and add a 10‑minute ice wrap after each leash walk.
