Kodas new wheels
Koda has become an old dog at creeping toward 14 yrs old. Along with arthritis he has been diagnosed with a degenerative nerve condition and is starting to fall down on his butt or side occasionally. A month ago we got him a wheel chair so he can still enjoy going on longer walks with us.
We got it just before the Indiana rally and that is where he had his first assisted walk. He's finally got the hang of using it and knows it helps him walk faster and longer than he could otherwise. As he looses function in one or both rear legs he will have the strength built up to still walk along with his legs suspended.
This wheel chair is the best thing to help keep him going, if any of you with older dogs have given anything like this some thought go for it.
The wheelchair has given him the ability to enjoy long walks again. He's back to wanting to go faster and faster!

He's not very limited in movement with the chair. About all he can't do iss sit down. He can pick up his duck and sticks and is even starting to try and run. He can cruise pretty fast if he wants to. He's even figured out he can poop while in the chair too. But still hasn't found a way to lift his leg on a tree ..the trees are happy about that !

He loves his ducks, and hes gotten to really like the chair. We got lucky and won with a low bid.. No one was watching that day, from this seller
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Best-Friend...c&LH_Auction=1. They were great too work with, we had a small issue and they did not hesitate to send the part.. On a used chair that was awesome.Last edited by WhittleBurner; 10-13-2019 at 08:53 PM.
