Re: What we did for Mojo (16-year old lab,back legs don't work)
So my original post was quite awhile ago and the link to the pictures no longer works. I was requested by the moderator to provide the pictures, so here are a few, and also one of him on the wheeled stretcher we made for him. Such a sweet boy, we lost him in 2008. Now I have 2 more elderly dogs, one...

some ideas
I went through this exact thing with my 16-year old lab recently. His vet did NOT recommend crate rest. We rigged up a couple of contraptions to get him around. You can look at the pictures (and see an e-mail link where yo can e-mail me) at http://www.mojo.claudiaweb.org
Good luck

automatic medication
Mojo needs a pain pill during the day, and it i s difficult for my husband and I to adjust our work schedules to have someone home every day. He will take the pill with absolutely no problem if it is wrapped in cream cheese. Has anyone tried any of these autmotic feeders for such an application? The...

Thanks all for the comments and Carol, he has very little leakage. He either urinates when he eats (thankfully very predictable so we make sure the piddle pads are in place) or my husband is able to express his bladder when he is out in the cart. But thanks for that tip, I will keep it in mind in ca...

Hi Paula, Thanks for your comments. RE: the bedding -- yes, he can turn around and move quite a bit and does. Over the years I have tried every kind of foam and bedding and he has always preferred hard floors -- even preferring the tiled entry over the carpeted bedroom where we are. RE the "att...

Carts
Hi there, I will shortly be posting a new thread. It IS possible to rig up a cart. My 16-year old lab lost all use of his back legs a month ago. We were able to rig up a cart for him and a way to get him around the house and he is doing pretty well. Pictures are at http://www.mojo.claudiaweb.org and...
