Hello Fellow Tripawd Lovers! We've had our sweet, sensitive, rambunctious, rock solid 3-legged pitbull Reggie for more than 6 years. We discovered him two weeks after his operation (he involuntarily chases things that grab his attention + his previous companions put him in the bed of their moving pickup = bad combo). We've never known him with four legs, and he doesn't seem to remember that right rear one either... except when he feels a powerful itch. And that's why I'm writing!
We are more than happy to scratch him up and down whenever he's in need, but he's a powerful dog, and, well, you've seen how they can go to town, right? My fingernails can't do what those claws and muscles can do. I'm wondering if anyone out there has seen or made a device that would allow him to scratch himself to the degree that would really give him relief? I'm thinking part cat scratcher, part industrial street sweeper brush!
Any resources or ideas? Reggie would sure appreciate it!
Cheers,
Rhiannon
