Re: Adopting a second wheelie

The gabba was/is working in that she's completely stopped chewing her paws, however even with all the noninvasive treatment possible she has lost circulation and it's stilted her healing. Today she caught the leg on something and attempted to free herself by chewing through what was trapping her, un...

Asteroid needs your help

I adopted a beautiful paralysed girl 2 weeks ago, unfortunately she was in a worse state than described, she was found in a collapsed building with her spine broken, she received vet care in Serbia to relieve the pressure on her spine and after a year recovering there arrived for her new life in the...

Re: Adopting a second wheelie

I questioned that aswell Carol and by comparing xrays it already has, however as she's not been in her chair often whilst in Serbia it isn't too severe yet. Unfortunately however whilst I was out today she caught her leg on a stool and it appears she's tried to free herself by chewing through it, th...

Re: Adopting a second wheelie

We've now been to several vets and the consensus is that both her rear legs need amputation as the position theyre fused in is twisting her spine :/ leaving them in place will only lead to further damage higher in her back :/ Sorry to be an idiot but it's been a long day,what is a contracture critte...

Re: Adopting a second wheelie

Thank you for your reply, we have had a vet check, and although her legs are in a state from dragging she's in no pain, she's not nippy in a horrible way at all, it's like puppy excitement the same with the crying, 4 days in and she's only now shouting as it were if she needs something, the last exa...

Re: Adopting a second wheelie

Yes because clearly I'm insane right now! She's lovely but she is certainly a problem pickle and not because of the wheels, she's not really been in the world for a while so she's loud and yappy and nippy and hyper but that'll all calm down when she gets the idea that this is her life now :) I'm gon...

She is indeed another paraplegic, about 2 years old, she was found with a building collapsed and a broken spine, immobile and pregnant, she's been emergency neutered then kept in a garage as they...

Re: Adopting a second wheelie

Sorry I haven't replied, we went away for a camping/festival thing, she loved it :) I bought her a new harness with back rings and clipping the lead there or maybe the harness itself seems to have solved the issue of her going between my legs, she's off exploring with comet and doing zoomies in the ...

Re: Adopting a second wheelie

Well she's here, she's beautiful, and comet loves her, we had her cart adjusted tonight, and she's much happier with it now :) We're going camping tomorrow, which comet loves so it will be interesting to see what she makes of it, we will of course come straight home if she shows any sign of not enjo...

Hi, I adopted a wheelie dog called comet last year, after becoming semi retired due to auto immune issues, I've also spent my life working with children and animals specialising in children with additional needs. Being wonky myself and having all the time in the world, an additional needs dog seemed...
