Welcome and sorry your diagnosis brought you here.  No doubt you're worried about all the changes to come.  Excellent idea about getting a wagon to transport sweet Izzy down the hall to the elevator!  Dogs don't really react to missing a limb the way people do.  They just go on with life and learn to get around on three.  I think we as their caretakers find it harder to deal with.  Most dogs are sent home with gabapentin for phantom limb pain and it seems to do the trick.  If your vet doesn't give you some ask about it.  Most dogs get sent home with an antibiotic, pain medication maybe 2 kinds and the gabapentin.  Stock up on things your dog likes to eat because sometimes appetite goes away for a while.  Also something to give pills with such as boiled chicken or liverwurst can work.  The first few days will be a trial and error period to find what works for you and beautiful Izzy.  Stay connected to us here and if you have any questions just ask!  You will find yourself settling into a routine that works for you after the first few days.  Dogs are amazing in their resiliency and you will probably find yourself amazed with Izzy.  Try to relax and be strong for Izzy if you panic she will too. She'll take her cues from you.   If you stay calm and act like this is normal she also will.  You'll also want to give medication as directed because it's hard playing catch up with pain medication.  You can do this!!!!  We'll all be here to help you!  Hugs!!
