My baby Abby has recently lost use of her front paws. We are in the diagnosis stage waiting on MRI and spinal tap results. Trying to plan ahead. Does anybody have a recommendation on where to look for a front support cart? I found two places online both seem good but also expensive. With the cost of MRI and others funds are a bit strained. Any info appreciated.

UPDATE: Last Thursday evening after 3 days of unable to use her front legs she decided to walk. She is getting stronger each day. Yesterday she even decided to jump off of deck. The MRI came back negative for any spinal problems. The spinal tap did however show signs of meningitis of unknown origin or type and possible brain stem swelling. Cant determine cause without more expensive tests. So we are continuing doing preventive treatment and try to cover all bases. Hard to believe such a 180 turn around. The Vet Wednesday night had informed us she didnt think Abby would make it through the night.

So sorry this has happened....

Have you checked with local shelters or rescues for a resource?

No clue...never had a dog that needed a cart. I've seen them for back end but never for front. FWIW, this sounds like a spinal issue just south of the neck region...injury, tumor, other? Bizarre. I wish I had something, anything to offer.
Best wishes for any measure of recovery.

Did some searching in bulldog groups on Facebook... this is the most recommended place, the do front and back carts.
