All sounds good so far! Hooray for #2!!! it's the little things that matter with these Tripawds getting thru recovery.
Jerry posted some good links for you as far as rehab and nutrition. You asked about supplements. I can recommend a couple by the same company.
Animal Naturals K9 SuperFuel and Animal Naturals Young at Heart.
My dog has used both in her lifetime to build muscle..and that they do! I have switched her to Young at Heart now as she is 11 1/2 years old and has been having some eye sight changes..but it's still good for muscle wastage on old dogs too. I can really see a difference in her if I take her off it. She's much stronger being on either one of them.
Here's a link where I get it:

I also do lots of regular PT work with my dog because if I didn't, she'd be a wreck really. She's a couch potato by nature and even more so, now on 3 legs. So gotta keep that core in good condition so she can live a good life on 3 legs!
Here's to hoping your pup's recovery keeps on going well! It ain't easy, that I will agree with but the days will get better and better and you'll be darn happy with your decision to amputate.
