Backpack padded lumbar strap for dog sling

Post by rubymomma »

So far I am pleased with Ruby's progress. By the time I came home from work she was able to hobble around on three legs. Her rear left leg is still useless at this point and it tends to trip her up and cause her to fall. She is able to go potty and we found that using a padded lumbar strap from one of our backpacking packs is working great as a harness to hold up her back end. She has only urinated, no 2 still appears to be illusive.

I am really hoping that the progress she has made in just one day will continue. She woke me up in the middle of the night whining and I assumed she wanted out, but when I got her on her feet with the harness all she wanted to do was crawl in bed with us. Her personaliy is intact, if a bit confused. Here hoping for more progress everyday.
