Hi Rebecca,
So far we just haven't found anything that works well enough to carry in our Gear shop. I will reach out to the person who I believe is making the leg covers (she's a member here), and let you know what she has come up with for her Tripawd. But in the meantime, you may want to discuss this with your vet to find out how to keep the stump protected. Sometimes an amputation re-do needs to be done if things get really bad and the wound never heals, but hopefully your pup won't need one. I'll keep you posted.

Hi my cooper has a back nub and he was hitting it. I make nub covers for him. I tried to post a pic on here but I can’t figure it out. My email is HERE, anyone is welcome to contact me. They help so much. I make water proof ones he loves swimming and padded ones. I can show you how to do it or try to make them for you. Sherry

Could I please get info for "amputation nub" coverings. Have a 3 month old great pyranese/anatolian shepherd mix who has partial hind leg amputation. He's become very active and is scraping his nub terribly. It's so hard to find anything to put on him that will stay 🙁

Jane, please see the above post to reach out to Sherry. Also, please consider having your dog evaluated by a canine rehabilitation / physio therapist. If he is banging his nub so much during activity, it's a sign that he may need training to learn proper walking/running/standing/balance form (not at all uncommon for a young Tripawd). You want to help him learn these things now, so that he doesn't develop bad habits that carry into adulthood.
If he hasn't been seen by a therapist, the Tripawds Foundation can pay for your first rehab visit (click for details). And please consider joining as a member so your posts won't need approval every time.

Nub Cover for back leg
My dog had a partial amputation last week. She is doing great, but I would appreciate getting info on how to cover her NUB. Thanks

Hi @elsies, we're glad you joined us. Please start a new topic in Hopping Around so we can learn more about your pup, like why she had an amputation and why she needs a stump cover. We look forward to meeting you over there!
