Glad to hear he’s doing better – hopefully the vet will be able to help. It kinda sounds like phantom pain – lots of dogs here did well on gabapentin (I’m probably mangling that name) for phantom pain. Try searching in the forums for phantom pain to see. It’s a good sign he’s snooping in your closet! 🙂
We’ll keep fingers and paws crossed for your boy!!

Poor Maradukie!
Sounds like phantom pains! Ask your vet for a RX of Gabapentin. It should knock it right out within a few days. You may have to insist on it from the vet since they aren’t sometimes as familiar with it and it may have to prescribed by them at the regular pharmacy (it shouldn’t be expensive)
Here’s some forum topics:

HUGS!

Poor dude for sure.

Good to get him checked out.

Come on, Marmaduke, we’re rootin’ for you!

You definitly can’t get mad at them when they do something naughty because it is so good to see them spunky enough to be rascals.

My dog Lyndon had his surgery the same day as Marmaduke, and he is also having some strange night time behaviors… maybe its just this stage of the recovery. It’s good to get him checked out to be sure.

Just remember, you’re almost halfway through the recovery… almost there!!!

How is Duke doing? Fortis had a couple nights where he screamed out in pain. It was about a week after his surgery. It was unnerving for sure. I pray he and the family are doing well.
