Welcome Bitty and pack,
So, tell us more about Bitty- what kind of pup? How big? From your post it looks like she is about 3 years old.
How is she doing since surgery- 3 weeks out I hope she is doing pretty well.

Hi my name is Bitty. I'm a Chinese crested & Mini poodle. One summer afternoon my mommy was driving down the street and saw puppys for sale so she stopped to look. In a small cage she saw two big lab puppys when she looked closer there I was under the other pups. She picked me up and the next thing I new I was in the car going to her house. Mom say's. That when I was 2years old I hert my left back leg. I remember herrting it I just don't no how old I was.my mommy had to give me shots And nasty meds. Mom sayI have a birth defect(luxating patella)
geesh bitty, sounds like you are a very tiny pup!!! lucky for you your mom looked in the bottom of that cage and snatched you up. sorry you had to lose your leg, but we all found that three legs were really enough, the other was a spare. hope you will post some pictures, we'd love to see your beautiful face!!

We are having pain when she moves she just barly moves and screens in pain. Is there anything I can do to ease the pain? Its just been sents they took out the stitches.
Strangely enough, Zeus seemed more painful after the stitches came out, too. It could be a pain or sensation thing, or maybe phantom pain? We had a lot of luck with ice packs to help ease the discomfort.
we agree with zeus' recommendation of ice. you can use a bag of frozen peas too, just put it over the incision area for 10 minutes or so at a time. maybe bitty tried to move too quickly, and is pulling on the healed incision. hope the pain stops soon – nothing worse than a pup that's in pain!!

Sorry you are not feeling great Bitty. Hope the ice helps. (10 min at a time only!) If that doesn't seem to help, you might want to call the vet and ask about getting some Gabapentin. We didn't need it with Abby, but I know a lot of other folks on here said it helped a lot with phantom pain.
Feel better soon!
