You should have a local charity near you that handles dog wheelchairs. Ask one.If so, will it be difficult for him to go to the washroom? Difficult for a 50-60 pound dog to get accustomed to it? Getting ome will surely extend his life, but I dont want him to have it on 24/7, maybe a few hours per day and for some walks. Any feedbsck would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Like a champ.How will he go to the bathroom?
I just had one get an amputation from being hit by a car, he is nine years old and around seventy pounds I plan on getting him one.My boy, Cowboy had one in his later years due to spinal issues. He could walk short distances in the house but nothing further, and his quality of life was going down hill. It made a huge difference and he had no problem adjusting (he was 45 lbs).. That said, every dog is different. I took Cowboy to a certified animal physical therapists, who kept him mobile for 3 yrs, until we need a cart. She helped me measure it correctly and introduce it to him.

Was it front or hind leg?I just had one get an amputation from being hit by a car, he is nine years old and around seventy pounds I plan on getting him one.
Just like always. There are no problems there. Once a dog gets his wheels they are like puppies again. They run all over the place.How will he go to the bathroom?
I'd have to build a ramp for the backyard stairs and such.Just like always. There are no problems there. Once a dog gets his wheels they are like puppies again. They run all over the place.
There are tons of youtube videos about dogs with wheelchairs. Take a look.I'd have to build a ramp for the backyard stairs and such.
Hind leg.Was it front or hind leg?
A cart might help then. For mine, it meant we could go on hikes again.Hind leg.
I need something to go on hikes also.A cart might help then. For mine, it meant we could go on hikes again.
My wife was a veterinarian and I have seen quite a few dogs that used wheels and as far as urinating and defecating it depends on the dog's level of impairment.If so, will it be difficult for him to go to the washroom?
