My Nikki had her right rear leg amputated in Oct due to Osteosarcoma. She is a large Rottie and has now developed a rare condition in her left front shoulder and is basically down to 2 legs.....
We have had 2 big hits this year with spinal surgery on one dog and now the amputation. I am looking for a used large quad wheelchair for Nikki and would appreciate information on finding one. I am willing to pay for it.
Thanks

Do not have the wheelchair , but also juist wanted to send you love and support
You really have yoir jands full. You are and your dogs are clearly a strong and determined team. I know things seem bleak right now, but based on that adorable avatar picture Nikki has a whole lot of spunk.
If you are up to it, maybe you could post more about Nikki's condition. This site has a wealth of information....perhaps someone has insight or even first hand experience that could help.
TAKE CARE!
