Re: best all-terrain cart for large front leg amputee

Carol: WOW!! I can't get over the videos of Dominic. That is awe-inspiring :) Thank you for sharing those. I have the newest version of the help em up, which has a "mobile" and removable hip lift. You can situate it so that it's in the right place so as not to interfere with urinating. The...

Re: best all-terrain cart for large front leg amputee

Hi Carol: He is about 83 lbs....(post-amputation). He is a big shepherd....was about 100 lbs when young and healthy. I do have help, so I won't have to lift him on my own.

Thanks to each of you for your care and concern. Indeed he does have the heart of a lion. I couldn't have said it better myself. Today the oncologist said that he is "stoic to the extreme" because he just keeps on truckin', doesn't let it get him down, and is still smiling through it all. ...

Osteosarcoma and probable DM (amputate?)

Hi. I'm new to this site and have a question for anyone and everyone that might be able to shed some light. My 10 year old German Shepherd Oscar was diagnosed with osteosarcoma (front limb, distal radius) in fall 2009. He was not considered a good candidate for amputation initially because he has hi...
