tra708 Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 Hello, I think one of those slings with handles would be helpful for lola's weak hips/back legs. Have you found one that works particularly well? thank you for any advice! tracy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macoduck Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I use one of those fabric grocery bags. Cut it down the sides and you have an instant sling. You could also add a small folded inside for extra padding.

MaryJane Posted April 9, 2018 Share Posted April 9, 2018 I have used this sling with a back amputation, a front amputation, and for a dog that had trouble getting up. For the amputations - I used it for the first two weeks to steady them as they entered and left the house.https://www.walkaboutharnesses.com/products/walkabelly-support-sling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
