Hello! My family's Corgi, Cowboy, has gotten to the point now where he is unable to walk. He slides around, but I think the discomfort of moving has caused him to become more and more stationary which just causes him to be still when he does eventually move. For a long time we used acupuncture which helped A LOT, but now his 6 session plan has ended and we are looking into other options. I would really like to get him a wheel chair since his front legs work great. Store bough wheel chairs are absurdly expensive, so I've decided to construct one myself! So! Does anyone have a site they can link to me on how to make a dog wheel chair? I am mainly looking for one that uses PVC pipes because they seem easy and inexpensive. I also need the materials to be fairly common and easy to find in a store like Fleet Farm or Menards. Thank you so much!Oh, and just because he's adorable I posted his picture so enjoy! :)
I had a paralyzed dog, she lived for a year in a kiddie pool in out dining room where she was still part of the family. We would put a scarf around her middle to take her out for exercise and mental stimulation. Unfortunately she had recurring urinary tract infections we could not cure and she died a year after becoming paralyzed, but she had a happy pain-free life with lots of attention until that time. Best of luck with your corgi, he's a cutie with a great smile. ;-)
