Just like humans, dogs suffer a lot when they no longer have the capabilities of moving and walking around anytime they want to. Humans are more patient in this sense. Any individual can still do a lot of things with his hands even if they are immobilized because of some disease or if they happen to be disabled brought about by leg injuries. Therefore, he can keep himself busy and take his mind away from his sad conditions. A paralyzed dog, however, doesn't have any of these privileges. Unlike man, it cannot read a book or enjoy a TV show and forget about its plight. It would most likely sulk in a corner for an entire day.

You surely can't just turn your back on your paralyzed dog as it tries to bear its condition. Since it is probably one of your best and loyal friends, you should not let it suffer immobility until the end of its days. As much as possible, you should seek solutions for this problem. One obvious step is to go the veterinarian and consult about this. The vet should be able to diagnose causes and even prescribe the medicines that you can have mixed with your dog's daily meals. There are cases, however, when the healing process takes a long time. What's worse is that the condition may be for life. In such circumstances, the most loving act you can do is to buy a dog wheelchair. In fact, the vet might even recommend that you provide your dog the wheelchair.

Of course, the dog wheelchair may not be able to treat the causes of your dog's mobility or his paralysis for that matter. However, some vets would admit that this may a huge help for hastening the healing process of the curable cases. It's dog's nature to walk around anytime they want. These activities can be dangerous if your dog has injuries because it may further damage his bones and muscles. However, when your dog is attached to a wheelchair, it can move further without hurting itself. The end result is that treatment can proceed without getting too affected by your dog's movement. Your pet will surely appreciate the wheelchair and the freedom to be able to move again.
