Degenerative Myelopathy (silence) DM ( more silence) What is it? Can you cure it? Where do I go from here.  When pet owners call to order a Walkabout back end harness because their veterinarian has diagnosed their pet with DM and they will begin using a walking aid for their pet I ask if they are familiar with Dr. Roger Clemmons DVM PhD   Degenerative Myelopathy German Shepherd Dogs R.M.

Hi Zoe is 14 years old but still wanting to go out and about, this is our second order for a compression sleeve because it has improved her life enormously, we used to go out to the wood and always end up carrying her back because she limped so much and it broke our hearts to see her, now she goes all the way around the woods without limping and has also started running again which is really wonderful to see.  Yes she is elderly and is very stiff at times but her heart is still wanting to carry on. ...

I wanted to give you the latest update on my dog Kaylee. She completely tore her right  CCL the end of last August, and she has been wearing the Walkabout knee brace.  It is a perfect fit, and she wore it whenever she was out of the crate or not sleeping during the night. She had a follow-up visit with the vet yesterday who was amazed at her progress. The vet said most dogs don’t do this well. She said the drawer was no longer in her knee, and the pain medication was discontinued.  Now she only needs to wear...

CONSERVATIVE healing for Knee injuries.  Good Morning from Walkabout! When your dog has a knee injury and is wearing the Walkabout knee brace remember to also restrict your pets activity while he or she is recovering. Usually doggy jail (life on a leash) is the best way to curtail bolting due to appearance of unexpected guests (THE SQUIRREL) and walking instead of running for at least the next two weeks is best.  Keep the knee brace on during busy parts of the day. Keeping your dog on a leash while indoors as well as outside is really important to prevent...

Happy New Year From Walkabout Harnesses, LLC Support Harnesses Boots and braces This year promise me when you buy products for your best friend be sure they have been properly tested on the pet population needing them. For example, has the support harness you are thinking about buying for your beloved pet have a proven track record to not cause pressure sores  to sensitive areas such as the groin or abdomen, or put undo pressure on the bladder, causing urinary tract infections. Does the product support your pet in the wrong position? Too far forward, causing the tail end to drop?...

Hi Aunt Cathy,Thank you so much for making me some more booties and especially since they are a gift to me ! The two you made recently fit me so good and let me scratch my ear and get around much better than the old ones. I promise I will continue licking them clean every day. You are so nice. I am glad my Daddy (that I love very much) found you so I could stop wearing ugly bandages. Your booties are pretty just like my Daddy tells me I am.Thanks again. Kissie

Here is the video of my Gracie and my 82-year old mom, Shirley.  Grace was 12 when we brought her in for tieback surgery for her Laryngeal Paralysis issues.  They found a tumor on her spleen and removed it instead of the tieback.  It was benign thank God.  So 6 months later or so in May 2016, she went in for the tieback as her breathing was getting very difficult for her. After 4 surgeries (2 failed tiebacks due to brittle cartiledge and a laryngectomy) then aspiration pneumonia while in the hospital, we thought she wouldn't make it...but she not only...
