[QUOTE="katya02, post: 236258, member: 2884"] Apparently it came on overnight, after a night when the heat failed and our house got pretty cold. When husband got up in the morning it was 50 degrees in the house and the dog could stand, but she couldn't walk. Then over a couple of days she couldn't stand either. The good news is that now she can stand for a little bit if we get her feet under her properly, and she can move her legs a little. So it's not complete paralysis, but it's some sort of neurological problem. I'm pretty excited about the wheelchair. It takes two weeks to make them since they build each one custom for each dog, but they look well designed. A mechanical engineer started making them 20 years ago when his 10 year old Doberman became paralyzed. Until it arrives I've ordered a two-handled harness called 'Help 'Em Up' (or Help Me Up ??) to make it easier on our backs to help Molly outside. She weighs almost 80 pounds! But I really, really hope she does well with the wheelchair. She's such a happy, sweet-natured dog - a real treasure. I don't want to lose her too soon. [/QUOTE]
