Title: Webster's Wheels - An answer to a prayer!
Post by: Barbie on March 31, 2004, 08:46:46 PM: I would like to post a happy ending to a desperate plea I posted last year. We were looking for a set of "wheels" for our much loved Cocker, Webster, after his back legs gave way. We had no success through the Forum but found help via the Internet in the form of K-9 Carts.
Webster's "wheels" have been an answer to our prayers. They have given him back his mobility and he is now able to get around independantly, do his toilet easily and without any mess and he has actually regained some strength in his rear legs.
We were in despair last year, as we felt we had no other alternative but to put Webster to sleep. But, thank goodness, we found K-9 Carts!
(Should anyone want any more details, I would be more than happy to help).

i wish i had of known about this before i would have got her one .
i know how you felt about what you were thinking about last year some how with a disabled cocker you seem to get much more closer like a baby really well thats how i felt , having to do everything for it and thinking what it needs next and what you can do to keep him stimulated , when she passed away people said oh its just a dog with bad legs , but its not like that at all ,i really hope it improves his quailty of life and im sure it will :) good luck to you both keep us posted how hes getting on :)
