Anyone out there have a tripaw that didn't have the shoulder removed? Looking for advice/concerns/experience to share with a fellow tripaw + shoulder. Thanks!
We decided to leave my dog's scapula intact and she's now been on three legs for two years. I'm happy to help!
Here's a post we wrote about partial limb amputations:

Our Bentley (doberman) had his front right leg amputated on the first of August and the vet chose not to remove his scapula. Was wondering if this could cause future issues. He's really moving it around a lot and has started whimpering quite a bit. the first 3 weeks we didn't hear a peep out of him so was wondering could he be in pain now or is he experiencing phantom leg pain or is this shoulder muscles causing pain?? Thinking of going back to vet soon for a thorough check up. Thanks for any help, Karen
Bentley is our eight year old Doberman, diagnosed 7/13/16 with osteosarcoma tumor on right front leg, became a tripawd on 8/1/2016. His recovery was amazing, he was rockin it on 3! Bentley lost his fight to this nasty cancer when it metastisized into his spine, we had to let him go 11/13/16 exactly 4 months after first diagnosis. He was the perfect best friend, i'll miss him forever. :(
