NalaBear was a 1.5 yo stray who when found was severely malnourished and was missing her back right foot. The leg bones were exposed and the vet recommended amputation to avoid possible infection. She had her surgery in January 2018. They took her leg up to her hip. 

99% of the time she is perfectly fine and has no issues with being a tripawd. She does get tired faster as she has gotten older. But I am writing because of what we have always assumed to be her phantom leg pain . Randomly she will yelp and sometime curl her nub towards her front. It’s like someone pinched her is the best way I can describe it. These episodes only last for moments and she looks concerned after but quickly goes back to her usual happy pup self. 

I just discovered this site and was wondering if this is just something she will always have to deal with or if there is something I should be doing to help her. They are not really frequency but it seems that they are becoming more frequent. 

Thanks for your help! And give your puppos some extra pets from me (if they are into that)
