canine leg weakness


by: Jody on Tue, Jan 15 2008

My Mastiff mix injured both her rear legs at 11 years and could only walk on her hocks. She wasn’t a candidate for surgery so I found some fantastic splints that lifted her up on her toes again. She could run and do everything she used to do with them and it gave her 2 more wonderful happy years. If you have a dog with a similar problem, give them a try.

I found them at Orthovet.com and if you’re in Colorado there’s a place in Loveland that carries them. Be sure and go to a good shoe repair shop when you get them and put rubber soles on the bottoms and they’ll last a lot longer and your dog won’t slip so much. They saved us from having to put down our beloved dog and we’re so grateful for them. My sweet Maddy is still on their website last I checked!
