Re: Paralyzed dog with knee problems...
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...

Re: Paralyzed dog and my worries
Yeah, you're absolutely right! At first I thought "oh well, at least I can carry him". But I knew after a few weeks that I can't do that forever. It's so exhausting! I can and will try this! :) I was also very shocked. My doctor said it's fine for now. Not good, but also not too drastic. T...

Re: Paralyzed dog and my worries
Oh, no! My dog isn't that big. He weighs around 12-13kg / 26-28 lbs. It's more because he is so small (he is a dachshund/aussie mix). I always have to bend over, carry him around and the carrying aid is a bit too long, so I always have to tense up my arm a bit. I just got the diagnosis that I have m...

Re: New here - could use some advice!
Thank you for the reply and welcoming me! :D That's what I thought! He can't walk yet and I think it might take some more time. 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...

New here - could use some advice!
Hey there - I found this forum while looking for some helpful advice online. My dog, Fox (half dachshund, half aussie), had a ruptured spinal disc in september. I woke up that saturday morning because he was whimpering and then I noticed that he couldn't move his hind legs anymore. We instantly drov...
