Weakened Front Legs

[edc144]

Hey Everyone.

I have this doggie wheelchair project, and it'd be great if you can help me with it.

We have this Yorkshire Terrier--KC--who has trouble moving around due to his old age. KC's front shoulders no longer have enough strength, and when he tries to walk, his front legs tend to slide to both sides.

We will try our best to help KC, and we will consider all kinds of solutions, from wheelchairs to braces. If you can offer any information or suggestions, and if you have any similar experiences, please share them. You can contact me at k-qing@northwestern.edu.

Thank you.

The design is interesting. Thanks for the quick reply.

More info on KC, he is about 3 lbs, and very small. His hind legs are okay, and he has a tendency to walk on his knuckles because of a pinched nerve. Any help would be appreciated

If only on a slick surface, I made booties from " gripper" material for my old Golden.

How old is he ??? He really sounds in bad shape for his size.
