very small wheels needed for a baby

I am in need of very small wheels for a shih tzu puppy that was dumped on my front porch. I know it was cruel to dump a small baby with a leg that will never be used, but at least the person who left this cute ball of fur knew they were leaving him in hands of someone who cares. This is my first special needs dog and I want to do everything in my power to see that he will be mobile again. If anyone has very small wheels please email me at Juniepeach38@aol.com. Thank you for having this website I am sure I am going to be coming here often. God bless everyone with a special needs pet.

This website shows a picture of a kitten with a cart made out of K'nex toys. This is an archived copy of the website which was taken down in 2009 but I hope the photo will give you ideas.

Here is another one:

Dogs to Go wheelchairs start at $70 for dogs 10 lbs and under and I've only heard good things about them.

Here is another photo of a puppy in a homemade cart from the Healing Heart Sanctuary.

:whale: What's wrong with the baby? Spina bifida? Cerebellar hypoplasia (cerebral palsy)? That would help determine what style of cart would be best and would also help determine a good manufacturer.
