My mums dog has DM and is getting quite bad on her rear legs now, she desperatly needs boots but the normal ones just arnt fit for the job, does anyone know if there is hard core boots out there that will put up with constant dragging? its not the pads that need protecting its the nails and top of the paw.
Also wheelchairs? any cheap in the uk?

The boots she bought were these, she's going to find the link for you where she bought them from


The Best Way to Keep Dog Bandages Dry - Medipaw Protective Dog boot


She also used a Biko Brace, works like this




biko Canine Physio Brace


She thinks that she has the Biko brace + will look for it, + you can have it, if she can find it

DM is a terrible thing xxx
