I am so sorry to hear about your baby. I know how traumatic an amputation can be. My Lucy was run over by a dump truck last summer. After 2 hip pinnings and a bone graft, we lost her right back leg. As it turns out, that back leg was slowing her down! We swear her boxer burns are twice as fast...

we recently lost Shula to renal failure, and this was the symptom that should have alerted our vet. initially we were told it was just bacteria and given abx. two weeks later, the other vet in the office dx'd azotemia-toxic levels of ammonia and other toxin in the blood. he recognized the scent...
