Dog Wheelchair

Planned going back to the place further away that is popular for dogs..but rain is expected for like a week....
I know we need it....

Instead I took him for a walk at sunset today.
We did a loop at the baseball diamond area...he did it faster than I thought he would.
It is mostly asphalt paths so he wore booties, although he seemed happier when I took them off. Sadly, we met no doggies :(

This morning there was a brief respite from the rain so we went to the park with off leash doggie area.
Gavin will need to work up to getting there as it is within the park and up a rather steep hill.
We did see a few dogs, and Gavin did a good half hour of walking with no signs of him getting worn out earlier due to walking last night. So I guess I can try spacing his walks closer together.
 
Gosh must be nice to live where the worst you worry about is rain (aside from earthquakes...that'd be bad) , I hate walking after a snowfall or when too mild (slippery) and Finnie always pulls! Drives me bonkers! Good that you were able to get him out two days in a row and Gavin none the worse for wear!
Gavin reminds me of Piper...he loves his walks and belly rubs also!
 
An hour walk with no limping is fabulous news!!!
It makes us so happy to read this. Keep up the good work Gavin!
 
We really love the cart.....makes Gavin able to walk and see his friends!
I did notice that last afternoon Gavin was toe touching in a very exaggerated fashion.
Normally, visually his bad foot looks pretty normal except he puts almost no weight on it by shifting his weight.
Last night he was definitely just touching the ground with the tips of his toes.
 
well, we seem to have a good schedule of walks now.
So I figured this was the time to try it.
It should last about 3 months; I am just hoping Gavin eats it since he's not a fan of supplements even if I add liquid and heat it up.
I might need to add something tasty to tempt him like this

I have made bone broth in the past, but it is a pain and stinks up the house!
 
Sure hope it gives him some relief! You are the best of sheltie moms! keep us posted on Gavin's progress... even if it is 3 months from now!
