The Walkin' Wheels convoy :) http://www.koikeeperunleashed.com/images/follow.jpg I'll add some more photos of Freckles when I get chance but today was a washout. Once it cooled down enough for her to get a good chance to get acclimatized to her cart we had a thunder storm, so it looks like tomorrow ...

Thanks From Digby
This is a quicke potted history of our boy. http://www.koikeeperunleashed.com/images/digby.jpg He fell of the roof off a 3 story apartment building at seven weeks old and was left to die. I found out about this on the Thursday after this happened (he fell the Saturday before). I demanded that the so...

Roll Cage
Hi, Anyone got a roll cage for the wheelchair. My boy is now enjoying himself so much in the wheelchair that he has been known to roll it completely over as he races around some of the bushes in the garden. Seriously though, do you think upgrading to pneumatic wheels (probably 16") would help t...

Re: Wound Won't close
Hi, Thanks for the replies, I thought the same thing about staples but as this is a 3rd world country we are limited by what can be done. The vet ended up usng sea fishing line and grommets, at least this time it won't be the stitches that give. He said that we could further reduce friction with the...

Wound Won't close
HI, I have a dog (5 months old) that I rescued 3 months ago. He cannot use his hind legs and shuffles around on his right hind quarter. We have a wheelchair that we bought from here which is great. We now have an ongoing problem where he had a growth on his right hind quarter. This was removed and t...

Re: Wheelchair Size
Hi, many thanks for the reply. We are doing all the things mentioned so I suppose now it is just time and perseverance. Nancy was great when I ordered the wheelchair and mentioned that as he grows we can purchase items to customize the chair and keep up with his growth. Hopefully as this one can tak...

Re: Wheelchair Size
One question I have that probably is not really appropriate for this thread is to do with his ligaments atrophying. Basically he has a lot of hind leg movement at the moment. I have no idea if this is reflex or reconnecting of nerve tissue etc. In the early stages of his time with us we could lift h...

Re: Wheelchair Size
Thanks for the welcome. Great idea about pants, I may have some kicking around that aren't wafer thin LOL. I'll cut a hole for his tail. It will be great to see him splashing about instead of swiming 20 feet then sinking as his strength starts to give out. I hate the thought of him suffering any mor...

Re: Wheelchair Size
Just wanted to reply and say that I spoke to Nancy and we now have a wheelchair on order so hopefully our little boy will be terrorizing our German Shepherd within the next couple of weeks :) The lifejacket will also make his time in the pool more enjoyable and allow him to spend more time in there ...

Wheelchair Size
Hi, My wife and I have rescued a puppy Bull Mastif that fell from a 3 story apartment roof. He injured his spine and lost the use of his rear legs. He damaged 4 vertebra, fracturing one and herniating at least 2 discs. In the 4 weeks we have had him he has started to get hind leg movement (increasin...
