Jerry, thanks for the information about Gabapentin.  Yes, I'm in Colorado, in the Denver area.  The information does seem to indicate that using another pain med with it makes it perform better.  Would the Carprofen not qualify?  Onyx got his stitches out on Monday and the doc and I discussed pain meds and he seemed to feel that Gaba + Carprofen was the right call.

Onyx does not seem in pain that I can tell, but he does seem fidgety at times - particularly when sitting next to me on the couch and it's driving me nuts.  I'm trying to get things back to "normal" to make him feel better and he usually sits next to me on the sofa.  Because it didn't seem like a thick blanket was comfortable enough for him post-surgery, I placed a slightly smaller version of his dog bed on the sofa, also supported by an ottoman.  This is a really nice bed, made from think orthopedic memory foam and the same exact bed that he sleeps on (and loves), but one size smaller - however still big enough for him.  

However, he keeps getting up turning around a few times, then plopping back down in the exact same spot.  I can't figure out what he's trying to accomplish.  He is current on all pain meds, has been fed, etc.  It just seems like he is restless and I'm not sure why.  Have your dogs behaved this way about two weeks post-surgery?
