If you can get a soft cone it will be better than what you get at the vet. The onsies can be useful for some dogs. Make sure she's comfortable in a crate. Have kongs and/or other brain puzzles that she can do while she's on no activity. Get enough pain meds and sedatives if you think you might need them. Think about grooming if that is something your dog will need. Make sure she's brushed out well prior to going in.
I never had to carry Nyla on the stairs but its only 5 steps into the house and she stayed over for 1 night. Frankly I was super grateful for that!
