leg swelling while in cart
Posted: Wed Jul 22, 2015 7:42 pm
My dog tito who has IVDD and is in a wheelchair most of the day has recently been getting swelling in one of his legs. This is his good leg. His other leg had the foot amputated because he ate his toes since he is paralyzed. His good foot however is the one swelling. I only notice it after he's been in his cart for a while. His vet told me previously that it seems the cart is cutting off circulation or blocking a duct/gland in that area. I am not sure what to do. I have tried putting his legs in the stirrups on the cart to take off some weight, but it doesn't work.
I am using a cart that was on loan from a rescue group for his particular breed.
Thank you,
Candi
