we proved them all wrong. GREAT story !!!

I bet she could even use a wheelchair that girl. They have them for paraplegic pets.

I had an old dog that developed peripheral neuropathy that crippled her hind legs. She loved her little wheelchair that let her walk. I am sure it added years to her life. Now all these years later, I can't quite part with her cart.

In a internet search, I can find a lot of carts for dogs - like mine - that have paralysis in the back legs and have found none for front leg issues - but I'm betting someone with more mechanical skills than I could turn a couple wheels and some metal tubing into a dream ship.

that may not be viable. I would like to think they've explored all reasonable remedies. But great story, glad to see so many caring people in these stories.
