My 15 year old Border Collie developed severe hip dysplasia he was not able to keep his legs under himself and they would splay out. He had given up going outside, and I had to put pee pads everywhere. Doing research, I found this brace, I was ready to try anything I thought I was going to have to put him to sleep. Got this brace three months ago on June 7 2023 the first time we put it we did it so wrong I was so frustrated with the thing. Then we looked up videos, and it seemed these braces are about the same we watched some videos I suggest watching them also. It took a couple of days for him to adjust. He refused to get up sometimes, but I kept putting him on his feet, and he would lie back down. Then WOW, he got up went to the door to go outside all on his own, and walked around a bit It was AMAZING. I think I cried. I put little rubber socks on his back feet for traction. It helps a lot. For three wonderful months, I had a walking dog. He would play a little laser pointer. He walked freely, got up, and moved around. I picked up all the pee pads around the house no longer needed them. I did not take it off of him to afraid I might place it wrong on his hips. I had to put him to sleep Sep 21, 2023 ( liver shutting down), and even on that day, the kid got up, went outside and did his business, and came back inside. It gave him the confidence to move and walk again. Thank you for that.
