Thank you for your reply Carol! It really helped me. The thing with his leg is that it's always been kinda bad since the surgery. It was hard to move it from the beginning and the vet told us that he probably couldn't use it properly if he would walk again. So that's nothing new... It's just that th...

Hey, it's me again! To give a little recap: Fox had a prolapsed disc one year ago. He underwent surgery and since then he is paralyzed in his back legs. Two months ago he got his wheelchair and life has been pretty good since then! Well... until a few weeks ago. My husband and I still do some exerci...

I just thought it would be nice for him to move around a bit more and as you said, he can also use it in rehab and if he might start walking again. I will continue taking h...
