Some of you may remember Coopers story. I found him in rural South Carolina hit by a car on thanksgiving night. He was fine from the car hit, but we found out he had 8 bullets in his leg and it had to be amputated. 
He is doing well from the amputation, the first few days were extremely intense for both of us. I was not prepared for how intense those first few days would be. Anyway he is fully recovered and our biggest issue right now is food and weight gain. He has gained a few pounds since the amputation, not to mention the his appetite is constant and non stop. He barks and cries constantly for food. I’m subbing fresh fruits and veggies to bulk up his food a bit, but he is relentless. I am also struggling with him being active because I don’t want to cause so much wear and tear on his remaining front leg. I’ve noticed his toes are much more splayed out to account for the weight shift. 
Does anyone have any recommendations for exercising a tripawd?  Keeping your hungry beagle in shape? The only thing that is off limits are walks because he is triggered by collars and we are still working on letting me put one on him. I can only image he had a terrible experience wearing a collar in his past life. But I do have a fenced in yard and other dogs he can play with, though mostly he chooses to lay on the couch.

Update on Cooper the tripawd.
