Hello 🙂

I would like to ask if anyone has had similar situation:

I am the owner of Brita, who became tripod on 16.10. due to the accident she had in summer. The first night when we came from the vet after the surgery, she ate her food, went to her bed and slept through out the whole night.

Since the second night, she started to jump on my bed, with her front paw only (her front left was amputated). This is not completely new behaviour, she does this when there is storm and she is scared, but that is the only case. First I thought she was in pain, but now I am not sure. Her stitches are also out. Since the second night, she jumps on the bed every night multiple times. It doesn't seem that she would like to jump to the bed completely, she just puts her paw on the edge and waits for my reaction, sometimes she licks my face. She does this only during the night.

Yesterday I told her to jump to the bed completely, to see if she wants to stay with me in the bed (she has never slept in my bed nor couch, not because I am opposed to it, she is just not interested). So she jumped to the bed, lied down for a minute and jumped down. I asked the vet what she thinks and her opinion was that her bed was not comfy and Brita was looking for better option.

To get her orthopaedic bed was my plan anyway, however, in the meantime, I would like to find out how to stop her jumping. I haven't slept in two weeks due to this and I really need my sleep since I am a single owner and it can all be overwhelming. 

Do you have any ideas?

Thank you for reading
