Putting Ginger Into The Cart

- Demonstration of how to put a paralyzed German Shepherd dog into an Eddie's Wheels counterbalanced cart with outrigger wheels. This video was just taken an hour ago, at 6 pm, April 7, 2012 It has been exactly one year since Ginger has been down (unable to stand up or walk). The vet believes she has degenerative myelopathy. Her front legs are now very weak as well, and her front paws are knuckling when I support her back end and try to make her take steps; oftentimes she falls and gets scared, so we have to be careful. I have been putting her into the cart since Sept. 2011 but it's only recently that she has learned how to walk in it. She loves the freedom it gives her.
So if your dog doesn't take to the cart right away, don't give up. It took us 6 months, but WE DID IT! :)
Ginger just turned 13 last month and considering her handicap + her age, she's doing great. I love this dog!
So much patience on both parts. Ginger knows you are helping her and is thankful. So sorry to hear she passed away.
the love and devotion you and Ginger both have for each outher is incredable , keep up the good job
I'm so sorry Ginger passed away. But I'm so happy to see someone so special who did so much to take care of her. This is my dogs page, he's a paralyzed German Shepherd Mix from Iran. His name is OMID (which means "HOPE"). Wishing u the best, with love from Omid and his mom :)
Ohh I’m so sorry I just read the comment section and saw that your seeet girl passed away in 2012. It definitely shows you were a wonderful mom who went til the very end with her. Thank you so much for sharing that sweet face with the world. I’m sure she is still missed.
Thank you. Ginger passed away on 7/27/12 and her cart was donated to Animal Recreation & Rehab in Ft. Lauderdale. Ginger is deeply missed by everyone who knew her. :(
CloveSmokes so sorry for your loss as another devoted animal, human, it’s still hard to lose them. Blessing to you
You must miss her terribly 💔💔
Bless your soul.. ❤
So sad that she has those dogs around her and she can’t run with them. My German Shepherd called Bruce has hip issues. Going to get him into using a cart. Got to give them the best life you can right up to the end. Bruce had raw beef steak tonight and also salmon. Yep he’s my boy. Comes to work with me and everything.
Just Amazing...both YOU and Ginger. Blessings to you both!
we getting there people are wakeing up thanks eveyone xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
What a wonderful mom for Ginger! Thank you.
LOVE!!! I have a 15 year old border collie/ lab mix, he drags his legs but whatever to get the ball. He wouldn’t even care he’s not there yet, but hi d wheels he’d be like hell yeah! Didn’t take long at all once you know what you’re doing. My boy other than hips is perfectly healthy! Thanks again
You are a wonderful pet owner, Ginger was lucky to have you and vice versa. I have two GSDs and they are my joy. This is a beautiful video.
Thank you so much for sharing. We are in the process of searching for the best wheelchair for our Boxer. This video definitely helps a lot knowing the different ways to help a dog with her back legs giving up.
You're welcome. Good luck.
Just got our boy Walkin wheels
The love and devotion and dedication
Oh my I don’t feel so badly anymore. Have my first full wheelchair for my boy with DM, and talk about a learning curve. Yikes. Trying to get the perfect fir proves very hard when my doggie can’t stand... i hope that you finally got your fit right as I see the belly strap was way too far back and poor girl was like,” uhh no mom. “
Ohh the unconditional love they have for us and us for them! I hope she had a beautifully full life. You can totally see how very much she was loved. Thanks for sharing
I admire you for doing that much work to make Ginger mobile. I'm sorry to hear she passed away, she looked like a puppy at heart once she got up & moving.
Thank you. It's all about quality of life.
Its nice to see someone with compassion going that extra mile to give your dog a bit extra life as to many people are willing to go run get there dogs put to sleep without taking time to figure something out that you can help them especially with back legs going most would have given up min dog was crippled good on you
God bless you all for Ginger. Give Ginger a kiss and hug for me.
Sadly, Ginger passed away on July 27, 2012. She was loved very much is still missed to this day.
I bet.
@@CloveSmokes So sad to hear. Do bigger dogs not live long once they need a wheelchair? My lab became paralyzed in her back legs due to a spine injury. :(
Beautifull video
Dux is at this stage now. I just got him his Eddies Wheels cart and hoping to get the front wheels for it soon or I will have to go elsewhere. thank you for making this video because it's going to be difficult to get Dux in the cart by myself. I think we are almost there. wings are starting to flutter in the wind. Tears...
+HRTsAFyre I know that feeling all too well. Ginger has been gone almost 4 years and my heart is still broken. While I am glad I made this video as it helps others, I have a hard time watching it. I miss my girl so much.
+CloveSmokes our DM babies are so special, time heal the heart, but doesn't steal the love.
I believe that the front part of the cart is a little bit too high.
Thanks!
Parabéns muito bom mesmo Deus abecoi asu vida amei todos escritos amei 🤔😲😁😀😅👍👍👍
God Bless you
How to buy this cart pls. I wanted to know for my dog
super idea
Please, where did you buy this wheelchair? Thanks
--Addendum, I'm really sorry that you lost your doggie...forgot to say that. I just love dogs!!
Am so impressed ginger
If you lower the front a little, it would be easier for Ginger to change direction and moving. Imagine people do not walk forward with straighten legs, right?
Probably. But Ginger passed away in 2012 and I donated her wheels to a rehab center.
Mi perrito de 6 meses acaba de quedar paralizado de sus patitas traseras y estoy muy triste
May I suggest you replace the front wheels with swivle wheels so that Ginger can turn left and right easily. Please give him my love and kisses.
Thank you, but my sweet girl Ginger passed away in 2012, about 3 months after this video was posted. Her Eddie's Wheels cart was donated to a local rehab center for the next dog in need.
I just ordered a Eddie Wheelchair from eBay. I decided today to put my pup in the cart. It did not go smoothly, I had to make some adjustments. My dog suffers from arthritis, specifically in his hind legs. He has been laying down mostly and I think his front legs has become a little weak from that. I saw your video and noticed your cart has front wheels. How much was it for the front wheels? Thank you for this video. It gives me hope
+Vivian Orellana At that time, the front wheels (Eddie's calls them "outrigger) cost $125. I'm sure they cost a bit more now. Has your vet put him on anti-inflammatories for the pain of arthritis? I hope he feels better and I'm glad my video gave you some hope.
Take it slow
😍😍😍
Please change the front wheel put the rotation wheel.. like wheel chair front wheel ...
Heya! My dog is recently paralized and I'm searching for a wheelchair, you chose and experienced Eddie's Wheels, and although I've read many reviews, I'm never sure about them being real, so I wanted to ask you how did it go with it and if you would order it again, since it's a one time oportunity for us (we dont live in the States, and we are making a huge effort to get the wheelchair from there)
In my opinion, Eddie's Wheels, in Massachusetts, is the best quality of all carts out there. Some are lighter & cheaper, but are not that good. Is there a rehab center that might let you borrow or rent one? Here in the US, that's also an option.
@@CloveSmokes can i get this type of wheelchair in India.. ?? Actually my dog also suffering from this kind of disease.. he can't move from one place to another..
Wonder who did your chair and if they would be kind to share tips on how to build something similar I have a labradoodle that needs this pretty bad.
What happened to your dog? Car hit or agin?
The brand is Eddies Wheels. They are located in Massachusetts.
The dog in this video has a condition called Degenerative Myelopathy. It is like ALS or Lou Gehrigs disease in humans, unknown why anyone gets it, but it is eventually fatal.
How can the dog have a bowel movement with the cart?
It just plops out.
buenas noche cambiele la silla demaciado peso para el casi ncolocale una maz sencillano puede caminar

Put turntable wheel on the front of the cart.
Our gsd looks so much like she did! He still can barely use his back end but it is getting bad ...I'd love to try a rig like that on him! Oh man if he could just run again! Anyone have an extra rig they could lend Luca for his final days? I would return it! Luke is almost 13 so he might not have that long statistically ...we just want him to have the best QOL possiblle... we are in southern california btw
If you are on Facebook, there is a DM group - you might ask there. A lot of the members are in California. facebook.com/groups/DMDogs/
Ya know, I had a German Shepard my self. I only had him for about 7 or 8 years and had to put him down too.
But ya know, for the Christians, I know that I know that I know, we'll have our pets in heaven. And, they'll understand every word we speak, but they themselves won't be able to speak, but they will understand us....How cool is that.
I'm looking forward to having all my pets and even a few that didn't belong to me that were mistreated.
Best regards
Thank you, I will check out Omid's page. We have a page on Facebook for paralyzed dogs - most are German Shepherds - if you'd like to join. Best of luck to you + Mr. Hope!

I have a disabled dog too. His name is Pistol Pete. I love the love you have for her. Did someone say she passed away? I'm so sorry.

Pobre perro q vida le toco
Me podrán apoyar con un carrito así por favor
Front two weel should not be, because Ginger cannot turn in its own
yo
Uwu
It doesn't seem to be the best fit. The dog looked uncomfortable
Having a dog in a Wheelchair next to a Pool is a Disaster just waiting to happen
please remove the front wheels do not see that that's why he does not walk better, why the front legs do not lean well
She could no longer use her front legs, that's why we added the front wheels later.
That cart is a disaster he cant walk i suggest get him a better cart
This is cruel.
I think it's better to put the doggo down. It's just not a doggies life. It's humans being selfish not being able to let go... Our dog is also losing her hips slowly. It's really sad but we'll have to let her go =(
It is not humans being selfish. It's knowing your dog, communicating with your dog, and knowing exactly WHEN to let go. Each dog is different, as is each human willing or not willing to go the extra mile to keep their dog happy. People on the outside always judge.
You're right in a sense, in that there may be a point where it is selfish to hold on if the dog is suffering. There's quite a range between that level of suffering and simply not being able to walk. It's rude to assume you know the situation better than this dog's owner, who obviously really cares about and for her dog.
@@CloveSmokes sorry you have to deal with this presumptuousness . It is clear you love and want the best for your animals. You've helped many people and their dogs by having making this video.
🤣🤣🤣 A dog in a wheelchair! 😂😂😂 Ridiculous! 👎
