three-legged dog
26 Answers
Our 2.5 year old boxer mix is getting her back leg amputated today. Her femur was shattered, and we just cannot afford to attempt to fix it. My wife and I are concerned because we love to hike and camp in the mountains, and we always take our dogs with us. As a young three-legged dog, will she be able to take part in these activities in the future? Does anyone have any experience with this type of thing?

I saw a three legged collie doing agility a few months back.
This morning there was a three legged lab cross with a family and at first you could not even tell it only had three legs.
You just need to get yourself a 'Jake The Peg' extra wooden leg, so you can enter the 'best six legs' class at your local companion dog show!

My nephews cat lost a leg in snare, some 10 years ago when he was about 2, and within a very short time he was running around as if nothing was wrong and he's still going strong I have no doubt t all that before you know it your dog will be back to normal, all he'll need is a little extra love and attention till he gets back to normal
Oh Lankeela it would be nice if we had a swimming pool in our area, let alone a hydrotherapy pool. I just was thinking that I would love nothing better than to take my dog swimming with me, but she only swims in the river here.
How nice it must be to swim with your pet dog.
Good idea though Lankeela.
