Thanks for all again.
Junior is using a t-shirt now and is sleeping.
About medication, Junior is using "tramadol", " meloxicam" and a "antibiótico". About me, I have my eyes on him every time. 
I'm happy because he looks very well but i'm nervous because he is a puppy and he has a lot of energy and i need that he will be quit the nexts days.
About the harness, i see it in amazon and is possible for me buy it when junior will be prepare for it.
Thanks again and i will keep you inform
Perfecto! Es dificil con un perro tan joven. Espero que el va a dormir mucho! Si es necessario, puede usan "baby gates" para mantenerlo en una habitacion. Debe usar su "leash"para ir afuera.

Said goodbye too soon on September 4, 2016. Lost his adopted sister, Tess, suddenly on October 9, 2016. likely due to hemangiosarcoma.
Wherever they are, they are together.

I'm happy he is getting good medication. He should recover well.
Yes puppies can be difficult patients, they have so much energy! Try playing games with him that will tire out his brain. These posts are in English but you should be able to translate a few tips:

WELCOME HOME JUNIOR! 🤗🤗
Yes, slow and easy for a couple of weeks. You have your hands full with such a young guy! It is MAJOR surgery and he is on pain meds, so that should slow him down a bit!
You're doing a great job!! This part of the recovery isn't easy but it does get better!
Try and get some rest when you can....and eat lots of chocolates...it helps!

Hello and again: thanks for all.
All the advice you have given me has been very useful. Have the advice and support from you, makes me feel calm.
I'm going to read the link that Jerry left me to try to apply the tips and get him to get tired.
This morning i´m very scared because his wound began to bleed (blood water), but I remember many forums that talk about this. I called his Vet and he said me that is normal.
He has been eating very well and make pis and poop normal.
I will keep you inform

Hi all.
Yes...all is fine. Junior is so happy and he is walking better than before amputation.
I suffer every time he walks, but I'm sure it hurts more to me than to him.
In spite of everything, I am very happy because he looks better than before.
Yesterday he had a small accumulation of fluid
on one side of the wound yesterday, but
it has been reduced with ice.
Thanks and i will keep you inform.
PD: I want to send you a Junio's photo but i don't
Know why. Thanks If someone can explain me

Junior is a champ! That's great he's doing so well and recovering without any issues. As you saw, a seroma (fluid build up) usually goes away on its own.
Here is a link with instructions for adding images to the Forums. If you'd like help let us know OK? Basically it's like this:
- Your photos must be uploaded somewhere like your Tripawds blog, or online photo sharing site.
- Get the photos' URL by right clicking on the photo.
- Return to the Forum post, click on the little 'photo' icon located in your forum post editor. Then paste your photo URL into the pop-up box. Your photo should appear in the Forum post you are creating.
I hope that makes sense. Let me know if you'd like this translated OK? We can't wait to see Junior!

Hi all. He is Junior:https://www.ins.....G7544f3c0/
Please said me if you can see the photos.
Says the link is broken. Maybe it didn't all get copied.

Hey there! Instagram is a little different when it comes to adding images . Here is how to add Instagram photos.
What is your user name on IG? I would be hoppy to put some photos here for you!

Great! I think I know the issue. Your IG account is private. That means you can't share photos with people who are not connected with you. Unless you make it a public account, images won't show up here. Sorry!
