Great advice Michelle - I love the memory foam dog bed idea... and I'm looking for a hydro-therapy place near us.
Re the stairs... ugh. No, I don't think anything can be rigged on the first floor - we have our own entrance from the street (which is still 5 steps up ), but the "hallway" is pretty much the bottom of the stairs, with no room for a crate.
I'm thinking my boyfriend is just going to have to risk putting his back out (and make some extra time out of every work day to come home) and carry him up and down till it's safe to let Oscar carefully navigate on his own. Big bummer. But it'll be worth it to keep the surgical site sound...
I read on a site where the owners of a Bernese Mountain dog used the bottom half of a plastic carrier to hoist up and down the stairs. The dog lay in it and the couple lifted up and down their entry stairs.
