Hai Doctor Davis ! I came across this thing called walking wheel chair for dogs. Pictures are attached below. Should I buy the lifting aid or the wheel chair?which one is to be used for toby?
The lifting aid will help both the front and rear legs. Not all dogs will take to a wheel chair and it’s difficult to get them in it. If he’s strong on the front legs then the wheelchair will work. If he’s weak in the front legs he won’t be able to stand. I would start with the harness and then if he’s gets to walking normally in the front legs then consider adding a wheelchair. Dogs can only be put in the wheelchair for about five to ten minutes at a time, several times a day, since it’s very tiring when they are out of shape. Also you need to be strong to get his rear legs lifted in and out of it. Work with the standing and walking with assistance in the harness. If he improves slowly then hopefully he won’t need the wheelchair. Also if you are able to purchase a real Help em Up harness, by Blue Dog designs, they are easier to use that what you’ve shown in the photograph. Thanks and good luck with Toby.

Hai Dr.Davis! Heartfelt thanks to you for the help and support that you are giving us. As you said, we made toby stand by using a towel. He could not place his legs properly on the floor. But we helped and made him sit and stand for about 5 minutes a
If he’s over 65 lbs normally then I would purchase a large Help em Up harness. It’s fully adjustable and you should be able to fit him from the directions they send. When you have him standing, place the legs and paws in the normal position and try to have him hold up some of his weight. With the help em Up harness the rear part will have a strap underneath and that needs to be adjusted so it’s behind his penis. That way you can support him when peeing and pooping so he will stay cleaner and relearn how to go himself outside. You are doing a good job if you are able to encourage him to walk a little. Sitting to standing will build up his rear legs so he can get strong enough to push himself up again. He is older but with pain medication and your physical therapy exercises hopefully he’ll be able to rise on his own and walk again. He’s been laying around for a while now so it make take several weeks for him to improve. Thanks again for using Boop by Petco to help you get answer

My German shepherd came home from the vet today and she can't walk or even stand on her own still and I can hardly lift half of her body and the only help I'll have is my grandmother, is there anything we can do that will make it easier to move her?
Unfortunately there is very life you can do aside from getting more man power to help you, but I can imagine how this may not be possible. You are doing the right thing in trying with a towel but you could ask your vet if they would have a special abdominal sling with handles spare or for sale. These are specially designed to help move weak dogs. You should find one online if not. There are special doggy hoists out there but this would be an incredibly expensive option. If you are really struggling to manage her it would likely be in everyone's interest to keep her in the hospital for a few days. Good luck!

Can you recommend a good, supportive harness for a 3 legged dog? My 14 year old border collie lost her back left leg after being hit by a truck. She still has a lot of energy and loves to go for walks but she gets tired easily. Do they have harnesse
I'm so sorry to hear that Sasha lost her leg due to such a traumatic event! There are multiple options for harnesses or slings that help you support her back leg as she walks. You can find most of these at online retailers. For some of my patients I've also used a simple blanket or towel rolled up and wrapped around the belly right in front of the back leg. This way you are giving her some support. Hopefully she will get stronger and more balanced as she gets used to having only one back leg and the support will just be a temporary thing.
