Hey Carol,
I did get your PM and here is what I wrote back (no idea where my reply went!).......
....I just looked at their website and I guess its a large--it is blue. Yeah, its probably too big--I just tried it on my 60 pound 4-legger with all the straps pulled as tight as they could go and it fit perfect. But it depends on Willow's measurements more than her weight. So check out the website again and take her neck, chest and waist measurements and see how they fit with the different sizes.
The coolest thing about this harness is you can literally pick your dog up with it using the front and rear handles--turns 'em into a doggie suitcase (duffel bag?)
Anyway, its here if and when you want to try it!

Unfortunately things aren't going any better this morning. Willow is still unable to balance or bear any weight, and now she's refusing to eat. I spoke to her regular vet, and she wants to "watch and wait' until tomorrow. My poor girl!
Martha, I tried to get Willow's measurements, but because she's such a saggy old girl and things tend to "hang" differently in different positions, I need to wait until this evening so my sister can help me. The measurements I took show that the harness may work, just her neck is a little small, but I want to make sure before I ask you to send it. I'll let you know later today.
