It's still early in recovery from MAJOR surgery!   

Yep, ditto Admin on possible pain and possibly overdoing it early on.

What's Moose's activity level been like right after the amp.?  No jumping around, no stairs,  no walks, etc, eight?  He should only be taking potty breaks and then rest, rest, rest.  

What kind of pain meds is he on and how often?

Most dogs are given Tramadol, Gabapentin, Rimadyl and an a antibiotic for "approxmately" two weeks.  Some dogs start tapering off sooner, some need them in some form a little longer.

Depending on the meds he's taking and the dose amounts, you can talk to the Vet about reducing the dose if you think they are making him lethargic.  Let the Vet know what's going on first though.  Sometimes a good dose of fluids helps perk up the appetite.

Drinking, peeing, pooping okay?   Incision look okay?   No sign of infection or fever?  Any signs of pain?  Was osteo the reason for the amp?    When do the stitches come out?

As far as food, basically feed him anythi g he will est during recocery.  Cheeseburger, cheese pizza crust, eggs and bacon, steak, chicken, etc.   Another thi g you might trynis having someone come over thst he likes.  Have them knock excitedly in the door and vring him some goodies!   See if he perks up.

Update us when you can.  We'll all be cheering for Moose!   Recovery doesn't last forever...it just feels like it!

Hugs!
