[Dailydrool] Mobility in non-mobile dogs

[Beverly Szaton]

By which I mean those who are down in the rear. Here is what we ran into
with Nigel-- one of the problems anyway-- when he went down in the rear but
insisted on dragging himself around:

Nigel, intact, was ah......um....built like a stud horse. No kidding he
was.ah.... his nebberminds were huge and when he dragged himself about he
abraded the skin right off them.

So clearly we would not be breeding so we elected to neuter him, remove the
problem altogether. And because he would continue scooting and there would
be skin there from the empty scrotal sac, we elected to have an ablation--
have the scrotum removed totally, the sac and everything. It helped a lot,
but we also had to wrap back legs now and then when he began to scoot again.

We never did find a workable containment system for his incontinence
despite Val's valient efforts to help us.
Good Luck
