Does your tripawd ever need help itching? When they finally get relief do they get that nub going? About a week after Sasha's removal I had to help her itch behind her ear.

Ha ha ! How cute! Ellie did this yesterday, the nub wasn't going like hers was, but it was moving! Her itch was the patch of hair on her back growing in from where the vet shaved it.
When Dante gets itchy, his skin around the amp site starts twitching, kind of like how cats make their skin crawl. Gives me the heebie jeebies till we scratch him and get the itch!
Maggie did the 'air scratch' for a couple months after her left rear leg amp. She would scratch her right chin with her remaining back leg, then turn around, stick her chin out over her left side, and her little stump would move like she was scratching. When she struck that pose I would scratch for her. She stopped doing it after a couple of months, but I remained responsible for the left chin

Wyatt will often give us "the sign" and gets that stump going once we give him a good scratch. His nub, however, is about as big as Sasha!

Kailyn, I bet that would get itchy.
Munko, I know what you mean. But Sasha doesn't do this. I have two horses that do that when a fly starts biting them.]
Karen, It seems those who have rear amp dogs. We are responsible for scratching what they cants.
Hahaha.....I bet Wyatt's nub is.
