Hi and welcome. Your future posts won’t need to wait for approval, thanks for joining.

I’m on my phone now so I will write more later but for now, your instincts are spot on. Her mobility doesn’t sound like it’s in a good way but if she is on painkillers (I hope she is), that may be part of the problem. What kind of medication is she on and did your vet recommend any rehab therapy? 

Also, tell us more about your dog like her age, breed type and health before the accident? All these things can influence recovery. 

For now, make sure your dog is only going outside to potty on leash and let your vet know what’s going on. I’ll be back in the AM with more thoughts. Stay tuned for feedback from others.

Aww you are so welcome. Glad you saw the reply.

Oh those nutty BCs! SO much energy! Well she's got the breed type to bounce back for sure, especially because she's already fit and healthy. I'm glad you are in communication with your vet, their advice about activity is spot-on, she should be doing bare minimum right now. However, it sounds to me like she has bare minimum pain relief (the equivalent of an aspirin and ibuprophen for a human, which would never happen after an amputation surgery, people get sooo much more pain relief, so why not dogs? It's the standard among vets practicing modern pain relief). If her appetite is waning, she shows any of these pain signals (follow link) please let your vet know so that they can get her on something strong. A broken pelvis and a leg amputation deserves adequate pain management .

Strength will come but in the meantime I would consider getting her into physiotherapy as soon as possible. It will make such a big difference in her recovery time and show you the best ways to keep her healthy and strong for the rest of her life. If you'd like help finding a therapist just let us know. Sounds like you're overseas? We have members in the UK and other countries and they may be able to help too.
