Greetings,,, I am awed by all of you.... You only need to see the joyful dogs in the masthead of this website to know you are all miracle workers.   My 7 - 8 year old yellow lab mix Homer herniated a disc getting out from under a bed frame.  He had a surgery to decompress and they found a ten inch long blood clot.... They feared the worst... But and it is a big BUT, after a few weeks, he wagged his tail, he had gastric control, he had deep pain response in the bottom of each foot, and finally he started to stand up and often stands to eat dinner!  He has had hydrotherapy, elec stim you name it at Twinbrook Animal Hospital and I can't say enough about the staff there.  
I bought him an Eddy's wheels and he tears around and places  and tracks well in the cart.  It doesn't have the leg strengthening we had hoped for. 

However, his bad leg has a dislocated kneecap and with the combination of cost and all the negatives that go with a second operation as far as recovery goes, we are hoping to have Homer become a tripod.   On a daily basis, we do stands and I regularly see him start pushing up and off to get up..... He is an Alzheimers therapy dog and I am a round the clock cargiver.....So you get the picture.  I void his bladder 8 times a day and keeping up with the other end is not a picnic around this house I can tell you.

A friend suggested making some kind of overhead spring support and getting him to hop that way.    IS there anyone out there that can suggest a technique and or somthing I could make or sew ( we have a wood and metal shop ) that could complete his recovery. I will then place an article in several publications giving tripawds all the credit.

Signed Homey and me  Kitty Fischer  ps it is better to hop on three than drag your self around on the ground.........
