After close to a year in his loaner cart Llyr was starting to have problems walking in his cart. His loaner cart had been adjusted twice for a better fit but, it was long in length and a bit to wide. He was also having trouble staying stable in his cart. After Dr. Parkes looked at his cart to see if anything else could be done we decided that it was best to have a cart made custom for his measurements. I was so lucky that Dr. Parkes was able to build the cart while we were there. It was a very long, hot July day, but worth the wait. Llyr's custom cart fit him perfectly and it was much lighter than his loaner cart.
This video was taken before his cart was completely finished, but you will see he is walking much better.
I can not thank Dr. Parkes enough for all his hard work and time spent getting Llyr's cart made this day. Llyr's custom cart made a world of difference.
Llyr's loaner cart is now being used by another Corgi with Degenerative Myelopathy.
