Thanks Bobbie!
And we have wood floors, very few rugs. We tried piting on gripper socks for a while to help Daisy avoid slipping, but she doesn't use back legs at all now to support her weight.

Re: Group for Wheelchair Dog Agility
Great idea! I am posting my question in this form since you folks likely also have smart, active dogs that now happen to be wheelchair bound. I'm looking for ways to play/entertain my 7 yr old Aussie who has IVDD and no use of her back legs. We live in Florida, so long walks this time of year aren't...

Unfortunately, our girl isn't getting as much help. She went for tx yesterday and today is worse than ever. She can...

Cold Laser Therapy
Our 7 yo Aussie recently diagnosed with ivdd. We opted not to do surgery as it is chronic, in several discs and she has aa lot of arthritis issues also. Just trying to manage her pain and give her as much mobility as possible. We do acupuncture, which helps pain, not neuro issue. Our traditional bee...
