I don't know if this was answered or not, but here goes.  We just had a
Flemish Giant (rabbit) dropped off with a broken back.  We don't even
take in rabbits - just exotics and wild critters.  Ordinarily I would've
strongly considered euthanasia, but this big girl has a lap dog
mentality.  She's a real doll.  We had a special cart designed for her a
couple of weeks ago.  The company was helpful, accommodating and great
to work with.  The product was delivered quickly.  Audi (the bunny) is
still getting used to her new wheels.  She has "some" uncontrolled
movement of her hind quarters which actually makes things more difficult
for her, but we're confident she'll be rolling in no time.  ANYWAY, this
company has also done a cart or two for ferrets for any of you
interested.  Their link is: http://www.k9carts.com/about_us.htm
 
They also worked with us on the price because Audi was a rescue.  Nice
people!
 
Good luck with the pug!

I apologize for this being somewhat off-topic, but my neighbor has a very
old Pug (small dog) with an inoperable spinal tumor that is not painful
but has paralyzed his hind legs.  He can't quite drag himself around with
his front legs, and he looks so frustrated when he wants to move but
can't.  And he he has to be held up by his tail to go to the bathroom.
 
So, I was wondering if the person who makes carts for ferrets with
hind-end problems might be willing and able to make one for this poor
little guy?  I'm sorry, but I don't remember who you are.  If you would
be so inclined, would you please email me at [log in to unmask]
 
Thank you very much.
