A few months ago my 8 yr old Boerboel had front left leg amputation for an Osteosarcoma tumor. She is currently in recovery and I’m grateful she’s progressing along albeit needing some rehab due to arthritis. One thing that a big challenge for me is finding enjoyable activities where she can entertain herself. She used to LOVE LOVE chasing tennis balls and doing a little hi key thing with her front paws. She even used to play with multiple toys at one time, but she’s unable to do that or even play with one ball now and seems to get depressed.

Does anyone know of options for toys for Tripawds?

Stay tuned, you are going to get so much good input. Really glad you posted!

Karen will have some great suggestions on toys and games. She also does "nose work" with her triPug Elly.

What kind of arthritis therapy is she on "medicne" wise?

Is she able to "chase" a slow ground throw/roll ball for any distance at all?

While you wait for the feedback, check out our Tripawd Store for games, etc.
