I purchased an http://eddieswheels.com/ Eddie's Wheels Cart for Miss Daisy who is just one of those tripawds that hasnt been able to get around on 3 legs. So far she has been using the chair for 1 month and we have been fiddleling with the height and length adjustments to make her more comfortable. We have also had to fill in the void on the left side where her leg was amputated with layers of foam and some silicone falsies to keep her hip from falling into the space between her body and the chair frame. The foam support tends to shift around quite a bit and although its better than not using the support (which lets her hip drop into the void) it seems to push her good leg against the right frame. Maybe I am being to much of a worrier- she is getting around in it.

Has anyone else had experience using chairs for their dogs? What brands?

I would like to make a permanant silicone or latex? spacer for her but am not sure how to do it. Any engineers out there? Seems like I sould be able to make a clay model and somehow make a mold and cast it. I have tried some local human medical amputee stores but the cost is over $1500 to have a "human store" construct one. If anyone has any ideas-let me know.

Foam and silicone padding

I think I understand what you are trying to achieve, but I'm not sure how big of gap you are trying to fill, and when reading you were thinking about something permanent silicone or latex, a couple things came to mind. Do you think you can make a knee pad with gel work, would that be big enough, maybe using some velcro to hold it in place, you could find them at Lowes or Home Depot. What about making something out of bubble wrap. Could you possibly make something out of a breast implant, you would have the only dalmation with a double D The males wouldn't even notice the cart, just a thought, coming from a male!!!!!
