Ask the Vets if a pair of "Doggy Wheels" would help him.

Please let us know what the orthopedic says. Maybe home physical therapy for his back legs could possibly help.
Sending lots of thoughts and hugs your way for you and Ben.

Poor Ben. I sure hope they can figure out what is wrong with him. Bless you for being such an angel for this little guy.

I will need to learn to manually express the bladder and rectum to this evening, at the least.

Thank you for ALL your well wishes and support.

Oh, Ben! This is not what I wanted to read. Major hugs and prayers.
