When a pet has been a rear limb amputee for many years, it has learned to walk and run, by placing the remaining limb centrally under its hips. When we place it in a K-9 Cart, there is usually a period of adjustment. With the full pelvic support the cart gives, we are now asking it to place its leg straight down under the appropriate hip. We place an amputee pad on the leg ring where the limb is missing, as it is important to keep the pelvis balanced and prevent the pet from leaning to one side. Amputees generally do extremely well in carts either with the remaining leg down or up. As always, we are here to help with any questions or concerns, after you get your K-9 Cart.
