Re: Looking a wheelchair for German Shepherd

Hi Irina

Your English is very good but I wonder if maybe it isn't your first language and so it may seem like we are suggesting you go and take Troi to be killed, which isn't what the posters are saying at all.

There could be many reasons why Troi can't walk - some of them can be helped by a vet. A vet may also be able to help with the way Troi keeps messing and needs 'tidying'.

You clearly love your dog and want to get a wheelchair to help but the very best thing you can do for Troi is to take her to a vet. They are qualified to know what is wrong with Troi and how to help. If they feel that her quality of life is poor and that it would be kinder to her they may suggest that she is put to sleep. Vets will not suggest this if they don't believe it is the very best thing for your pet. They don't 'kill' animals without a good reason.

If money is an issue for you there are vets who can help - maybe you could pay in instalments (bit by bit) - for example.

I know you think you are doing what is best for Troi but only a qualified vet can tell you if she is in pain - some animals don't show how much they are hurting.

Please take her to a vet - it is what she needs now - and the kindest thing you can do for her.

If you have questions about how to find a vet then I am sure someone here can help you.
