A wolfdog on wheels!

This is a grand success! Sometimes we're faced with making very difficult decisions, and it seems that Macia had made the right one. I'm sure had it been a more defined, permanent, irrecoverable injury, euthanasia would have been the only alternative. "Life at all costs" does not strike me as the case here, and I'm sure the "cost" is an etirely new story altogether. Congratulations and good luck.

I know this is an old thread, but I just read this and was wondering how the dog was doing, if she did indeed recover well?

Freyr is fine. Unfortunately rehabilitation didn't help and change anything, so she still needs to use her wheelchair. However she just start using only her front legs while walking more and more often.
Freyr doesn't really mind that, and instead of it she just thinks that the whole world should centre around her.
She even provoked a fight with my other dog, husky, and won it.
Freyr doesn't have any health problems; she had her joint x-rayed and everything is fine.
However she has all the time something to do because we have an interim home for puppies and Freyr always chooses a puppy that she really likes and it is her then.
We have got a new dog now, which looks similar to a dachshund, so is rather small but despite it she rules in the house, what you can see on the pictures. They were taken last winter.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
