 IVDD - Doggie Cart?
Hello all,
Today marks 6 weeks since my Cocker Mix Maddie had surgery for IVDD. The specialist stated that the progress made so far may be the best she will get. I'm so happy she can use her back legs, but she is very drunk-walking, stumbles and falls often. She cannot walk on any slick surface, only grass or carpet. My question is - would you consider getting a doggie wheelchair for a dog that can still use their back legs, but struggles? I'm just thinking as far as being able to do things like go on walks, and just be able to function as normal as possible. I'm really holding onto the hope that she will improve, but the surgeon was not as hopeful as I was, and kept saying that her progress now may be the best as shes going to get. I hate having to confine her to the living room, and I would like for her to be able to have as normal as possible life. She was an incredibly active dog before her surgery and I'm just trying to make her happy as possible with her "new normal". Thank you all! |
