It’s been a full week with new Tripawd Bentley! He’s doing okay. Finally started eating his food again slowly and on his time throughout the day instead of just pepperoni and hamburgers (that’s all he would accept). When we go for walks to pee he is enjoying getting carried up and down the 3 flights of stairs. He has walked down a few times when I hold his harness (webmaster) which I LOVE. Thank god for this site or I’d have no idea of anything. His ‘missing’ leg now twitches all the time. I’ve briefly seen this mentioned in posts, but not sure what it means? Is it phantom pains? Also when he goes outside he stands there for about 10/20 minutes then will move a few inches and stand again. Anyone else have experience with this? I’m just happy I see him getting a little less pain med sleepy and more alert and himself each day! Until then I’m enjoying my cuddle bug!!
Hooray for Bentley! Maybe the standing is just his way of enjoying being outside without moving around too much? 1 week is too early for him to be walking around or too active. Does he seem happy standing there? Is he alert, looking around, sniffing the air? Otis does the same on his walks, but he lies down, then moves a couple of steps, then down again. I think he is just enjoying the experience.
