Hello everyone! My name is Cassandra and my little darling is named Sasha. Recently my little 6 LB Chihuahua had her leg broken by her dog mother, who is a 15 LB chihuahua. It was her right hind leg that broke. Well our vet checked it out and x-rayed it. He splinted it and told us to come in every two weeks to get it checked. Well are first checkup, they took the splint off and the leg was not getting any blood flow and it has sores on it. The leg was removed two weeks ago on May 6th. She is doing wonderfully. She gets up and down stairs. And now she doesn't leave my side and likes to go in the car. She is getting the stitches removed this Friday. I was looking for answer to phantom pains and things to help her.  Thanks for reading! ~Cassandra.

P.S. Currently reading the Amputation recovery and the Post amputation side affects.

Okay, thank you for the link. Defiantly going to read it. Defiantly going to post more here about Sasha.

Thank you, Jackie.

Okay I read the info on phantom pains and I want to make something like where Cal's mommy took a shirt and sewed the extra arm hole up. Is there some way to make that for a dog missing a hind leg?

Thank you! I hope it is short lived. I can't stand Sasha in pain. I worry about her to much. And she is so tiny. 

Thanks, cometdog. I never usually pick her up anyway. Only to put her up and down on the bed, in the vehicle, and to sit with me in the chair.

P.S. Posted pictures on my blog if anyone wants to see.
