Awww. Rooney! Sorry you're having some owweees!

I am no vet and I am certainly not offering vet advice. Please call yoir vet and let him know what's going on.

Phantom pain generally happens out of the vlue. All of the sudden a dog will get up and try and "run away" from the pain, often yelping loudly. It's nerve pain and it hurts like crazy. It usually is kver as quickly as it happens, but a dog may be afraid to even move for a few minutes out of fear it will haplen again.

Since his lain seems to be longer lasting and more than just twitching, it could be something hurting from the surgery itself...perhaps a staple has come loose and could even be sticking him. Yeah, that has happened!

Is he still in Tramadol and Gabapentin? The Gaba should help if it's phantom oain. Anyway, give your vet a call and see if he can offer some suggestiins.

This recovery lart is full of crazy ups and downs, but eventually it levels out and it will all be behind you!

HUGS!!!
