As we got into January 2013 Holly's wobbles got wobblier again. The cats were due at the vets for their anual MOT and boosters and Holly came along for a check-up. The vet noticed her back right leg was lacking in control especially on the smooth lino floor.
He suggested that if is she was happily accepting the use of a scarf to offer support then she would probably adapt very quickly to the use of a wheeled cart. This would not only give her her independany mobility back but also prevent her spine from curving and becoming damaged as she twisted to try and gain some sort of balance as she walked.
So once more we left the vets with plenty of things to think about. Apart from the wobbly legs she had been pronounced healthy and had been more than happy to hoover up as many treats as she could persuade the nurses and receptionist to dispense.
She was having good days and bad days, on a good day we could walk for three or four miles. On one particularly bad day just after the visit to the vets she struggled to make it round the little local park, a total distance of three quarters of a mile.
That evening I switched on the computer and started to do some research into wheeled carts.
