Marlin started this last weekend, can't seem to keep his rear end UP. He has hip dysplasia. He is on aspirin and Tramadol, for inflammation and pain. Talked with the vet on Monday, and we increased his Tramadol from 2 times a day to 3 times a day. In 3 days he was doing better. So it is possible that Myndi can use some help with inflammation and pain relief as a start.

Many folks use the carts with success. The only one I recall on here though, is Annabelle, the poodle, who did not take to it at all.

Here is a link to Eddie's Wheels. This company is in Massachusetts; I spoke with the owner at the New England Pet Expo last October:

If you go this route, Myndi needs to get used to a harness. IF you are using a collar on her, you can start her in a harness now, as a step in the process.

So you don't have to keep bending, they do sell slings you can use to hold up the dog's back end. This means you have to walk beside her. Here is a link, just the first one that popped up, to show you what I am talking about: http://www.dog-sling.com/?gclid=CIK-...FcMQNAodmkMzZg

It is sad watching them age.
