Cherry, a miniature filly who was born prematurely and had been struggling for weeks to stand and walk on her own, has regained her mobility with the use of a Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair! The adjustability of the Walkin’ Wheels dog wheelchair proved to be ideal for Cherry’s situation according to her owner Terrie:
“I had to angle the wheels back. Miss Cherry would get mulish at times and would push herself until she flipped over backwards. Angling the wheels back kept her from doing that anymore. I surely do appreciate your making it so she had this chair. It worked very well once we adjusted it to fit her. Thankfully, she did not need it any more after a few weeks, but what it did for her made all the difference. Cherry was losing her will to want to go on, but having the chair made her want to fight even harder. In the three weeks she used the chair, she went from a baby that could not use any of her legs, to a baby that could almost run without any devices. The chair gave her strength and drive, and today she is 7 weeks old, and while wobbly on her feet, she can finally get up and down and run on her own. Thank you for making that possible.”
Cherry’s veterinarians at East Coast Animal Medical Center in Vero Beach, FL, have provided updates and photos on her progress in an online album available here.
