In reply to Mary Dobrowsky. Mary, has your dog seen a rehab therapist yet? If not that would be my next move. There are more options available and it's important to explore them, especially with a senior pup. Let us know if you'd like help finding one who can work with you! And remember Tripawds Foundation can even pay for the first rehab evaluation!

My 11 year old dog received librella for 9 months and it no longer worked so he just had his first ketamine shot. I don’t see a huge difference. He is still walking with a limp and walks a short distance for 1 walk per day.

In reply to jerry. If the dog has the minimum required for the old orthopets design, I can help with that anything less than that is likely not a prosthetic candidate unfortunately

In reply to Audrey Spall. Hi Audrey! Wow you've been a great pet parent to her, that's quite a few years on three. First, we recommend seeing a rehab therapist to find out how to strengthen and support her so she stays strong. Tripawds Foundation can even pay for the first visit. Then it would be great if you and the therapist can contact the UC Berkeley team together so you can figure out if a prosthetic is the right way to go. Follow the link in the article and fill out the form when you do!

My 9 year old border collie lost her right front leg at 2 years. She’s happy and active but slowing down. I’d be interested in a prosthetic to help her as she ages. What a wonderful project. How do I get involved.

In reply to Regina Martin. Hi Regina! It would be best to ask your vet who can guide you on your dog's nutritional needs. They are always happy to help!

Thank you for posting this. I’ve been collecting currently recruiting veterinary cancer trials for dogs and cats and put them into a free trial matcher:
https://vettrialfinder.com

It lets owners search for potentially relevant trials by cancer type, location and their pet’s details, rather than going through long lists of studies. I check and update the listings regularly.
