It's good that you contacted your vet so quickly. It could be anything, so try not to panic. Please keep us posted. We have our paws crossed for you and Maggie.

I would try to restrict her movements and keep her confined until you hear back from your vet.

Best wishes!

Laurie, did she have a pressure wrap on? Last week somebody here had a similar problem and it was from a pressure wrap. It restricted the blood flow and caused swelling. If she has one, you might want to cut it off because that would be highly suspicious.

There are a lot of reasons the other leg can swell. We'll think good thoughts until you hear from your vet.

I was actually expecting swelling in my dog's remaining front leg after the amputation because I had read that it could and probably would happen. I also had read that any of the remaining legs can swell  along with the abdomen and chest . Well My dog Valentina definitely did have swelling in her leg opposite the amputation as well as her chest,abdomen,and her other legs. The swelling in her back legs and abdomen went away in about 5 days but her front leg opposite the amp stayed swollen for quite a while. There is alot of extra fluid in the body after the surgery and it all moves downward. Especially since the leg that used to be there is now gone the fluid has to find somewhere to go. Swelling in the remaining leg usually resolves on it's own after a while but it's good that you called your vet about it to make sure. Also if the swelling is very extreme you definitely would want to check on that. Good luck. Hoping it's just normal post op swelling and that it will resolve soon.  

Happy hoppy 12th birthday! Eating like a pig is a good sign! She must feel good.

Hope the swelling is better in the a.m.
All the best,
Jackie, Abby's mom
