| When the Puffy Paint didn't help add grip to Whisky's socks (infant socks), I ordered some non-slip fabric to see if that would work better. It arrived late last week and after a few tries, I managed to get it at the right spot |
 |
| Whisky : Hey, I'm not slipping around anymore! |
 |
| Whisky : I can run without worrying about falling! |
 |
| Whisky : This non slip fabric works great, Mommy! Despite the success, Whisky was still having trouble trying to get up from a lying position. I ended up having to videotape her trying to get up. That was when I discovered her ability to get up depended very much on her front legs being able to hold up her body while her back legs got up. Every time her front paws slipped, she would fall with a thud (as would my heart) |
 |
| Whisky : Mommy made me non-slip socks for my front paws too! |
 |
| Whisky : I like wearing socks. They don't bother me one bit :) |
 |
| Whisky : Mommy used shorter infant socks and sewed the non-slip at the "top" of the socks so I'm wearing the bottom at my top and the top at the bottom. Get it? BOL! The heel part of the sock is exactly where her wrist is so it worked better the *wrong* way |
 |
| Whisky : Wanna see how it works better this way? Watch closely and don't blink! |
 |
| Whisky : I use my front paws to push myself up and the non slip makes sure my paws don't slide... |
 |
| Whisky : Now my back legs jump into action |
 |
| Whisky : And TA DA! I'm up! |
 |
| Whisky : How do I look? :D |
Whisky does very well in her non slip socks. The front socks do slip off easily so we're still trying to figure that out. Thank you to those who responded to my request for suggestions on how to help my girl. Old Kitty (THANK YOU!) gave me a website that sold "breathable orthopedic shoes", suitable for indoor and summer use. I am considering getting her those shoes for outdoor use.
Oh Whisky! We're so glad your mom figured out something to help you. You look great in your socks. Maybe you'll start a new fashion trend!
ReplyDeleteOh, we are so glad that your mom figured this out, Whisky! Very clever of your mom to videotape you so that she could study a better way to help you. You look very cute in those socks!
ReplyDeleteOh darling Whisky! THANK goodness you are doing SO much better with mobility! Love you dear girl. (tell Boomie I love HIM too. )
