We&#39;ve not seen the dog so don&#39;t know why it&#39;s gone off it&#39;s legs but I suppose I could suggest that to him.

Ive seen a few dogs with these that are paralysed on their back ends. Mainly young dogs dachsies with slipped discs etc but they are made to fit each dog and might be better than a sling?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://www.vetnurse.co.uk/thread/78324?ContentTypeID=1Sun, 11 Apr 2010 21:38:54 GMT1a0763ec-3885-442c-853e-6cef656dfec5:f088d52f-574e-4f6b-9a9c-6c23715926f0Kim Buckley<p>Yeah I can understand how much of a hard decision it must be but it&#39;s not his dog and he still couldn&#39;t see where I was coming from.
