Need help with older 3 legged basset hound

Post by 3legbassetluv »

My sweet girl Maggie who's a eleven year old basset hound lost her back leg about a year ago. She's all of a sudden having incontinence problems and popping a squat anywhere she can around the home. She's a bigger girl so I don't know if that's a problem, I'm sure it doesn't help. She hates the wheel chair so I'm needing another option, I'm thinking maybe diapers but she has little legs and I'm afraid they will slip right off. I'm at a loss, any suggestions?

:welcome: You got good information in your other post, and you might want to look around the neuro board for some other ideas. I also wonder about a training program for the wheels--making it so much fun she can't resist.Think of places she likes to go--dog park, PetSmart, wherever--and maybe try her there?
