We are currently on day 6 of Bowie's recovery from his rear leg amputation and this site has been a huge help thus far. He is 10 years old and was diagnosed with cutaneous lymphocytosis. I have found this to be a rare diagnosis that may or may not eventually lead to lymphoma.

He seems to be doing quite well so far but is either trembling or having spasms in his lower back area, at the site of amputation, and even in his remaining right leg. In the first couple days I was told that this is somewhat normal as things are settling down but was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if so, any idea how long it may take for things to settle down? It seems to be bothering me more than it bothers him but it's so hard to tell if he is in pain. I have been cleared to give him some gabapentin which doesn't seem to be helping with these spasms. It's disturbing to watch as sometimes his whole body shakes as a result of the twitching.

Any feedback would be hugely appreciated! Thank you.    Bowie's mom, Jess
