Hi,
I have a long haired shepherd with hip displasa, who will soon need to use a type of cart for her rear end to be able to keep mobile. Does anyone have one that I could use. My dog is 13 and a wonderful animal and deserves the best.

Thank you

Someone on my dogshowstuff yahoo group posted a craigslist ad offering a wheel chair for $275, I think....

Can you find out for sure? I just received email from this woman and no one has been able to help her.

Thank you

I saw this on our local craigs list and so I emailed the lady and asked her
about it. She used it on a male Springer and is asking 275 for it. She will
ship. If anyone needs it email me and I will send you the imformation

Have her try the Eddies Wheels site. They are a company that makes wheelchairs for dogs and they have all different kinds. They even have a section where you can buy used carts at cheaper prices, which is located here -

There is also doggone wheels. That's where we got our for our 13 year old collie when arthritis immobilized her.

However, the most important thing she should do, we learned the hard way, is to shave her butt down or the flies will get her. Being city folk newly transplanted to the country, we would never have imagined that this would happen to our dog.

Any pressure points, hips, etc., she lies on will become targets for the flies to burrow into her flesh and they are hard to detect because of all the long hair.

I would have never thought of that. Good to know though in case I am ever in the situation.

the thing is you cannot just get any cart and toss a dog into it. You need to make sure it fits properly or it will cause all sorts of discomfort, especially for a dog with hip displasia. Also, they are often gender specific. I know that eddie's wheels refurbishes some for resale which are slightly cheaper, perhaps the other companies do as well. You can also find sites on the web with directions to build carts if money is an issue and you have some skills.

This list is no longer active so the Craigslist reply address is no good. I have a cart to fit a female shepherd if someone can put me in touch with this lady.
