Mikey doesn't let his cart stop him from enjoying his WeaselBall one bit! Go doxie, go!! ___ OWNERS NOTE: Mikey went down almost overnight & was rushed into immediate surgery on 2-18-09. General statistics, immediate action, & an excellent board-certified surgeon gave Mikey a 85-95% chance of regaining normal mobility. Unfortunately, he is baffling everyone & has yet to regain motor or potty function. ___ For more info on disc-disease please visit --

  • 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

  • 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!!

  • God Bless you for not giving up on your dachsy....arent they the MOST courageous little dogs!!!

  • 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 :)

  • Can you please tell me where Mikey got his wheels, I am really interested in those, my doxie, Linko is not walking.

  • so much fun!!!! haha

    love how the ball got stuck in his mouth LOL

    what a cute little dude!

  • Awww poor baby, but what a cutie!

  • Hello-

    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 =)

  • Low cost Custom carts at dogcartsplus com

  • me parace una gran idea lo del carrito para perros discapacitados, pero como hace sus necesidades (nº2) creo que resulta dificil.....
