Regression?

So we are almost at 3 weeks post-op and before he was mastering the three-legged hop very well. We went for our follow-up appointment last week and he was given the ‘looks great’ by the vet. In the last few days (ever since his stitches came out and onesie/t-shirt came off) it is like he has completely forgotten how to use the three legs and is angry when he tries to even attempt to walk. When I try and help him along he tries to throw that back missing leg around like crazy, and he flops all over. Has anyone ever experienced this or have any advice?

  1. You have probably already done this but if you put the shirt back on him is he showing the same behaviour? I wonder if he has pulled or twisted something in his good leg. If it were me i would make another appointment with his vet soon and have that good leg looked at. I’m sorry he’s not feeling well, he has been doing so well!
    Hugs to the both of you, i hope this rectifies soon!
