  This is the second most common condition for which pets need a cart, and is likened to MS in people. It generally starts off with knuckling of one hind paw, leading to both paws, and a swaying gait in the rear, very often with legs crossing.

There is no pain associated with this condition. Unfortunately, it usually travels up the spinal cord and affects the front legs. To delay this process, we recommend placing your pet in our Standard Two-Wheel Cart as soon as you observe mobility impairment in the rear of your pet. This will take stress and strain off both the rear and front legs and keep your pet active and happy. Your pet can still use its rear legs as long as it is able. Our Hand Held Rear Sling is also useful for helping pets in and out of cars and up stairs.
