[Dailydrool] basset carts?

[BRYAN MARTINEZ]

Sam, aka Malcomb, my 4 year old rescue who I adopted on in January,  
suddenly and without warning, lost the use of his rear legs yesterday.  
X rays reveal a possibility of spinal damage of some sort, but no  
fractures and no smoking gun. The emergency vet gave him an IV drip of  
steroids and gave me some prednisone to give him for the next 5 days.  
He said , though, that if he is not improving in 48 hours, then  
surgery is the only recourse.
It's been more than 30 hours and his back feet are just unable to help  
him stand , let alone walk. I've been using a towel around his waist  
and supporting him out to the back yard (no more doggie door for Sam)  
to do his business. He is able to scoot around dragging his legs  
behind him, but he still wags his tail when he sees me and it is just  
heartbreaking, especially since this came out of nowhere. His whole  
life has changed in one day, but he still can wag his tail.
He will see my regular vet on wednesday, but I doubt he can do  
anything, since a vet is pretty much a GP.
I've been thinking that his condition is probably permanent (hope  
not!) and that one of those little carts with wheels might be just the  
thing for him.
Any ideas or experiences along these lines?
