Every dog goes home to a different home. Pawscript turns a 5-minute discharge intake into a recovery plan built for the actual apartment, stairs, and caretaker.
Vet surgical teams send dogs home from knee and joint operations with generic recovery sheets. Those sheets assume calm animals, open floor plans, and owners who can lift 90 pounds. Reality: high-energy breeds in small apartments, nervous dogs refusing crate rest, elderly owners managing alone. The protocol works inside the clinic — it falls apart at home.
Pawscript builds an adaptive post-op plan for each case before the patient leaves the building.
THE 5-MINUTE INTAKE
A vet tech (or the owner) answers a short, guided intake: breed, weight, energy level, behavior profile (crate refusal, separation anxiety, leash reactivity), living space, stairs, other pets, slippery floors, and the caretaker's physical limits.
A PLAN BUILT FOR THAT HOME
• Staged recovery timeline matched to the procedure — TPLO, extracapsular repair, MPL, total hip replacement, FHO, or arthroscopy — with goals, house rules, and leash protocols per stage
• Confinement setups sized for the actual space: ex-pen plans for studios, gated rooms for crate-refusers, one-floor rules for multi-story homes
• Enrichment routines that swap mental workload for physical mileage in high-drive breeds
• Handling guidance matched to the caretaker: lifting-harness recommendations, stair protocols, traction runways, and backup plans for solo caretakers
• Escalation scripts for late-night emergencies: a step-by-step 2 a.m. script plus clear "go to the ER now," "call first," and "okay to watch" triage lists with your clinic's after-hours number built in
