If you know anyone with a used dog cart that will fit 10 pounds to sell PLEASE email me! My yorkie went outside to go to the bathroom the day after Thansgiving. A stray dog came in my yard and broke his back. He is doing great but he drags his hind legs. He is starting to get sores on his feet where they drag. I thought I would try to find a used cart before I bought a new one. Also if you have a paraylzed dog and have any tips for me please feel free to email me.

Hi Courtney, I just stumbled onto this forum. When our Poodle was 4 (he's 6 now), he ruptured a disc in his back and became paralyzed. I had our vet measure him up, then ordered a cart from K-9 Carts. I also ordered male wraps that I use Huggies or Pampers inside to catch his pee pee. He has never had a rash due to the diapers. It took about 8 months or so, but the nerves in his spine grew around his injury site and reatached themselves (I worked with him every night after work teaching him to stand again, and eventually walk). He walks now, it's a funny walk, but at least he walks. He still wears his male wrap, and can't control when he poops so we are always on poopie alert. I have to keep his chair as he may need it when he gets older, but I have found sites that have refurbished carts. Try to look for Dogon Wheels (something like that), and Dauchsund websites have alot of info on back injuries and wheel carts. Email me with any questions, I'll do what I can to get you the info you need. [email protected] -Liz
