My Olympus lost her leg 5 months ago, and just now we realize her pads are worn thin and she needs boots for her walks and exercise. If anyone has a large Ruffwear (2in/51mm), or other brands measure around the paw (6in). I don't care about color, I just hope to protect her feet.
Soooo good to hear from Olympus! That sweet "senior" mug always melts my heart!
Sorry I don't have the booties. In the meantime you coukd try PAWZ. They are inexpensive. You can't leave them on for long periods at a time though. The are rubber and don't breathe,although I suppose you could pome air holes maybe? They are tight at the base and stay on well, but, again shouldn't be in too long as they coukd also be a bit constricting. They stay put though.
Nkt sure if there are any supplements, or even some sort of "cream"'to help thicken the paws.
Give her a big smooch for me! 'So glad she's doing well

Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
I hope you find some. Be sure to measure carefully so you get the right fit.
Sorry to hear about her feet, has your vet seen them and offered any insight? Boots are a temporary solution, sounds like she has something else going on, but I hope not.
