There are a number of professional cart manufacturers. My personal preference is for the ones by Eddie's Wheels, but any properly fitting & properly designed cart can help. Dodger List has a full list of cart manufacturers on their links section... dodgerslist. com/links.htm
I have a cart-dachshund too- he went down immediately at well and my specialist told me that since it was SO severe/sudden that surgery was NOT likely to help (it meant that hardened disc most likely severed spine instead of being able to be moved back? I'm not 100% sure). He noodles around just fine in his cart though! (Eddie's Wheels, I have a vid on my account if anyone's interested) Anyway cute video and good luck with your baby :)
We would like to know where we can purchase the doggie wheelchair used in this video? Our Doxie ruptured a disc in her back and had surgery but more likely then not she will not regain the use of her back legs. thanks =)
Thank you for posting this, my pup is getting surgery right now, and just wanted to see happy puppies just like yours just in case something happens.. thank you
Our little Fritz became paralyzed 4 days ago due to 4 degenerated discs. This has been so tough. We have decided to see what we can do. The vet is now weaning him off of the drugs and so long as there is no pain, we will be getting him a new set of wheels. It is good to see your Mikey doing so well on his wheels. Any suggestions or moral support?
Has Fritz had surgery... or are your using "conservative" treatment w/ drug therapy & crate rest? either way, 4 days is far too soon to consider the use of a doggie cart. The disc needs time to heal, crate rest of 6 weeks for surgical & 8 weeks for conservative dogs is the minimum. My other doxie Buster went "down" 6 months after Mikey & 4 wks later he started to regain some feet movement... 8 wks before he could walk mostly on his own & THAT was considered a fast recovery!!
@mystery964 ... we call the ball "weasel" in our house, but the actuall plush part? Umm... well.. that was so shredded in round #1 that he passed over to squeakie heaven (trash can).
I give my dashund everyday these over the counter meds with alittle bit of cream cheese.500mg Ester C, 25,000iu Beta Caratine, 400iu Vitamin E, and a combo pill of Glucosamine,Chondritin,MSM. I was told my dashund would never walk and needed a cart.I did research and give her this and she walks,runs,plays. I have to make her take the bigger pills. If you try this and it works don't stop the treatment, I did and mine relasped, but glad to say she is up and running again shes going on 5 years now.
God Bless you for not giving up on your dachsy....arent they the MOST courageous little dogs!!!

Where the weasel? O: the best part of Weazel Ball?

This was round #2 of attack-the-weasel-ball. Weasel lost his tail in the un-filmed round #1. Poor Weasel. {giggles}
kaw1782 1 year ago
@kaw1782 Aww. So I guess the weasel went in the trash? O:
mystery964 1 year ago
oh heck NO!! as you can see in the video, it is still VERY fun to chase WeaselBall... even if there is no tail.
Mikey & the other doxies still go *SPASTIC* when they hear me turn it on & set 'em loose... :o)))
kaw1782 1 year ago
@kaw1782 I mean the tail (thats the weasel, it has eyes and all) I took the weasel off of mine for a plushie :D

Kudos to you for everything you've done for Mikey. But I would trash the Weasel Ball; as you can see it got stuck in his mouth by his canines.
What's Mikey like better, balls or squeekies? My doxies are squeekie freaks. ;)

Although he rarely gets it "stuck" like that, he NEVER gets to play with Weasel Ball unsupervised... trust me.
As for his favorites... 1) weasel ball (moves on its own), 2) squeakies (notice dogbed full of them in background), and 3) plain 'ol tennis balls
Of course, being a doxie.... food & treats beat out ALL of the above! :o)
kaw1782 2 years ago
My bad, I missed the bed 'o squeakies! lol
My pack (doxies thru akitas) will be adding Mikey to their nightly prayers. And give him a treat for me. ;)
