Do the wheelchair for dogs work?
Has anybody kept their best buddy living well after his rear legs started collapsing?

Is it degenerative myelopathy?

Put the dog down and get another one. Dogs are easily replaceable.

He is more replaceable. A dog with low value still has some value to be replaced (e.g. another dog). A NEET with zero value can be replaced with empty space.

How old is your dog? If it's age related when they reach the point that their rear legs don't function anymore they don't have much longer left

Depends on why are they giving up?
My labrador with hip osteoarthritis wont use wheelchair because it will ruin his hips. He must try to walk as much he can otherwise his legs will worsen

Just kill it because its life got harder like most psychopaths that have owned dogs/cats. I promise you'll be making it happier by ending its life prematurely.

That only works with cats and their owners. Dogs are never suicidal.

My family dog wasn’t able to get up. I took her in and started giving her raw red meat. No more kibble unless emergencies. Assisted walks with a double harness. 2 walks a day on soft ground. Keep her interest in the world high. Lots of love. She’s stabilized and i think she’ll continue to her normal old age. God speed

Tip: take the dog off kibble if you can it inflames some dogs nervous system and red meat helps them rebuild muscle and control and reawakens their genetic powers of dynamic muscle movement
