DM

12-yr-old-Alie's having DM (degenerative myelopathy), can hardly lift up her left back leg well. She sill walks and sometimes looks normal but it's getting worse as I see. Thinking of buying a stroller, just take her outside to do her business. She's not that active like other corgis so she might not like WHEELCHAIR. I appreciate if anyone could suggest me anything or share anything w me.... She's been in my life for 12 yrs.

Gwynnie is also 12y.o. and showing some geriatric (and possibly neurologic) symptoms. Weakness in hind legs going up stairs. But she did climb a couple mountains in Feb & March.

Nice!! Today at dog pk, Alie ran after a dog. So happy to see her running! I showed X-ray to my friend, a vet in japan. She pointed me which one causing her a problem. It's lower back bone (disc).
