Phaedra3 Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 My big male greyhound fell while running and badly bruised his spinal cord and lost the use of his hind legs. We are having a very difficult time finding a back end harness that fits a greyhound. The harness either digs into the underside of his delicate skin around the leg area or they cover up his private area and don’t allow him to pee. Has anyone had any luck with a comfortable harness for their hound? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ramonaghan Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 (edited) I have the harness linked above and would be happy to mail it to you if you don't mind some embedded fur from numerous hounds. It originally came from Lucy @LBass who used it with her boy Spirit and then her tripod MoMo, and Lucy graciously sent it to me for my tripod Sweep. Then it went to tripod Tessie in Colorado and came back to me when my Willa had her amp in August. It's been a tremendous help to many of us, and hopefully will work well for your boy too. It's very lightweight and has no itchy seams or rough bits. PM me if you'd like it!

FiveRoooooers Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 ^^ This is one of the examples of why we love the GreyTalk community ^^ Another option is the Help 'Em Up harness that worked great for both my male and female hounds who had lost the use of their hind ends. 4 Quote Old Dogs are the Best Dogs.

cleptogrey Posted January 11 Share Posted January 11 i was watching my late friend's 11 year old borzoi who was using a Help Em Up harness. I hated it, she peed on it all the time. I went to a sling made out of a sturdy reusable shopping bag that was opened so it became a sling. I used it for steps only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EllenEveBaz Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Carol Becker Rizzo mentioned above custom made one for my girl's measurements and sent it out very quickly. It was a wonderful help. Best thoughts for your boy.
