Guest greydogluvr Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Willie has 2 corns, one on each hind paw. For this reason he has been up and around less. Now with the lung mets I really want him to be able to get up and walk around. Let me know if I am way off, but I am afraid that if he lays around too much this will not be good for his lungs. I am thinking fluid retention. . Anyway I have not heard him cough since the diagnosis, he is breathing fine and eating well. So I want him back up and around and think the Therapaws will help. After all of that, what I really need to know is what size Therapaw should I get for him. He is 83 pounds. I do not want them too lose so he might trip over them but not too tight either. HELP!!!! Sorry for rambling... I just want him to fell as well as he can Thanks, Lora and Willie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaliforniaGreys Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Lora, don't go by Willie's weight. The best way to measure for them is to have Willie stand for a minute and have a piece of paper under his foot. Draw an outline of the foot, and then measure the width and the length of your drawing. Before you order, please let me know because I screwed up on measuring the first time and got one too big and I'll be more than happy to send it right away. Just let me know Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am at work but will definately trace and measure when I get home. I was confused by all of the measurement requirements on the website. Thanks for the offer. I might take you up on it if the size is right. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The width and length of your drawing should be almost exact to their chart And actually, I can just send you the med, it's just sitting in a closet here.If I don't still have your address, I'll pm you and will get it in the mail in the am Edited April 15, 2009 by cbudshome Quote Missing my little Misty who took a huge piece of my heart with her on 5/2/09, and Ekko, on 6/28/12 For the sick, the lost, and the homeless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest MnMDogs Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Med would work if he's built like my Morky (also ~83 pounds). Good luck with your boy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
