Except possibly in war scenarios, the operation is performed under General Anethesia ( not a MASH character, if you excuse the pun) the amputee is unconscious during the amputation. -there is a largely psychological problem of Phantom pain, where one might feel pain or nervous tension on the side of the body where the now-gone leg was. this is acknowledged, and over time will ( burn itself out) - there are evidentally microscopic nerve endings that are still picking up sensations- but alas will die out when the thing cures.
basically, you cut off the leg.

It depends on the type of injury you have or why the leg needs to be amputated. If there is paralysis, the leg may not hurt at all. If the nerves in the leg have been damaged, it may not hurt. If the leg has an infection, then yes, it will hurt, Pain medication may be given to help with the pain.
The most common surgery was that of amputation of either an arm or leg . This was done without the benefit of anesthesia or antibiotics . Gangrene often developed resulting in the slow agonizing death of the patient .
A leg amputation is a drastic measure that is not done unless there is a very serious and incurable problem with the leg, usually gangrene. If you feel that for some reason you would like to lose a leg, you have a very serious psychiatric problem, and you need professional help.
It will adapt and be fine as long as it is a beloved pet .
