I live in Cuenca, Ecuador (I am an expat from Maryland) where anything like a prosthesis for a dog would be impossible to acquire. I adopted a 3 year old Schnauzer from a hell hole of a refuge. A year ago his foot was run over by a car and the owners didn't care for it properly. As a result it became gangrenous and they put the dog in an animal rescue rather than take it to a good vet. A vet hired by the animal refuge did a partial amputation of the front left leg.  Gandalf's stump is healed but it does get "beat up" and there is bloody spotting when we walk. I made my own little sock for him that is padded and I tie this on his stump when we walk. My vet gave me antibiotic cream and I wash and dry and apply the cream every time we walk. The padded sock does prevent bleeding. He seems very happy and outgoing and could outrun me if I gave him the opportunity. If anyone has suggestions I would like to hear them. It is impossible to take him to the United States to get fitted for a prosthesis. The regs to bring in a dog from outside the US are just prohibitive. Sadly, Ecuador is behind the times when it comes to animals and animal welfare.
