Re: best all-terrain cart for large front leg amputee
Hi Bobbie and Carol, Through the process of elimination,we are trying to figure out, with our Vet, the cause of the back leg weakness. We have the best Vet in the world, fortunately- love her!!! The MRI costs about $1,000.00 at WSU; I'm told it often does not render a definite diagnosis in this type...

Re: best all-terrain cart for large front leg amputee
Thanks for the links. We are in WA, so that Puget Sound rental could be interesting, Carol. I'm always interested to hear what someone would actually choose for themselves/their own dog. Our girl's back legs are getting worse by the hour it seems. Just Sunday we were running a rugged park trail, and...

So, what would you get for your dog if you were in my situation?

Re: best all-terrain cart for large front leg amputee
Thanks, Nbregger. So what is your thought on why a quad cart would be better than a rear cart with front wheel extensions? My worry about a huge quad cart is due to the way my 3-legged dog moves: to move, she first hops on the one front leg; while her body is in the air, she quickly moves her right ...

Re: best all-terrain cart for large front leg amputee
Thanks CarolC. Exactly what I do need right now is real-person-testimonials like yours, (and the truth is a positive not a negative in my view, so that I can make the best decision possible). I couldn't sleep last night, thinking about how cumbersome those quad carts look, and wondering about actual...

Re: best all-terrain cart for large front leg amputee
The remaining front leg is strong. One company recommended the 4-wheel cart, another company thought maybe a rear-wheel cart with halter might work. I'm thinking a 4 wheel cart might be a good option if the front wheel extension is removable...the removable front wheel option is appealing just in ca...

Re: best all-terrain cart for large front leg amputee
Thanks for your input. Any insight is helpful at this point. We're not sure what's going on with her rear legs. She's had weakness off and on with the right back for several months, (probably due to a muscle strain/tear as it seems to repair itself). But almost overnight the left back has gone from ...

best all-terrain cart for large front leg amputee
My 80 pound 3-legged dog (front right leg is a stub) has recently developed weakness in back legs. She's done really well on 3 legs, but now that her back legs are getting weak, I am considering a cart. We live in the country on hilly, rough terrain. Does anyone specifically know the best company to...
