Meg - Thanks for the recommendations! I never really thought about the peanut being too much, too fast, but definitely a possibility! He always seems to want to do more, and I always feel like I'm holding him back.

I had gone back and forth about finding a canine rehab specialist.  Where I live, there really isn't anything close by and I was worried the costs would be too much (Thank you for the info regarding the rehab reimbursement, Jerry! This community is ever so helpful!!).  I did decide to track one down yesterday after your post, and it turns out she mostly does home visits.  She's an hour away, but is going to be close by Saturday anyways, so she will be stopping out Saturday to take a look at Henry and show me some things that we can do at home. I have been using Loving Life On Three Legs and it has been a great resource so far.  The exercises, stretches, and massage techniques are extremely helpful, but I'm glad your post helped push me to contact the specialist. At the least, I'm hoping she will help teach me the correct way to do some of the exercises.  I can read about them all day long, but you never know if your pup is doing them correctly without someone there to show you! 

Jenifer - What you described with Milo sounds just like what is happening to Henry, like his right rear leg is a bit uneven.  I am going to mention it to the rehab specialist -- I bet a chiro adjustment would help him tremendously.  Thank you!!

I will have to take a look at his nails tonight and see how they are wearing. I'm curious to see if his rear leg is out of alignment like Jenifer suggested, if his rear nails are wearing differently. These are all great things to keep in mind when we visit with the specialist Saturday. I will send an update after the visit! 

First off, I just want to say I learned so much Saturday!  I’m so glad I decided to get in touch with a specialist.  Henry’s amputated limb is really tight, and he had a lot of tightness in that right rear leg.  The tightness is on the front and back of his thigh, and also his hip.  Tiffany, the rehab specialist, said that the turning in is in fact a very small limp. She did a drawer test on him and said that seemed normal; however, she did say that the location of tightness he is experiencing is common with dogs that have had some sort of minor injury.  She thought that he may have a small fracture or tear in that leg, so I will need to take him to the vet to determine what exactly is causing the limp.  If there is an old injury, surgery is an option, but unless it is imperative, surgery may not be the best thing since he’s already down a leg.  She showed me several different stretches and massages to do to help with the tightness of the amputated limb and the rear leg.  She even recommended trying to use an exercise band in a way that would not only help stretch the hip and thigh, but also isolate and strengthen that rear leg.  You use the band to slowly and gently stretch his rear leg out, and then when he tries to pull his leg back in, he is met with the resistance of the band, so he is in turn strengthening that leg.  You can do it in the opposite direction as well, so when he extends his leg, he is met with the resistance.  Tiffany recommended trying the exercise bands with him because he is pretty laid back and easy to work with.  She said this particular technique doesn’t work well on dogs that are more skittish/energetic. She also suggested warm compresses before and after stretching. If there is an old injury and surgery is not recommended, I will need to make sure to emphasize that leg when doing exercises and stretches, as it will need more work.  Obviously, all this work will need to be gradual.  She highly recommended swimming as well; however, with that deep wound on his remaining front leg, I need to make sure that it is completely healed before taking him in the water.  Thankfully, there won’t be any swimming here in Wisconsin this time of the year, so I have all winter to get that wound healed.  I will be scheduling appointments for the vet to take a closer look at that rear leg, a chiropractic adjustment, and light therapy for his front leg wound.
