Large breed of canines like the Pointer and other various canine breeds have been known to develop mobility issues especially in the backend or hind quarters as they age. Talk with your vet to learn about possibly mobility issues that could affect your Pointer. One such disease is Degenerative Myelopathy (DM), which can cause the loss of mobility and feeling in the legs. If your pup has been diagnosed with a condition that affects his mobility, ask your vet about a specialized dog cart or wheelchair for your dog. Wheelchairs and carts have been created to give your dog back some of his mobility. For instance, some carts are designed to essentially be used like walkers. The cart allows the dog to take his regular stride with the front legs while the cart rolls along carrying the backend. Consult with your animal hospital New Orleans LA to find out if this might be something for your canine.
