disabled english bulldog
I have a 8 week old english bulldog puppy she is partially parallyzed in the rear area and has no control over her bowel or urine. I have tried pet diapers and they just fall off of her. Can anyone give me any suggestions.
thanks

Kim, I just joined Specialneedspets.org and saw your post. Are you still in need of help?

I do not have experience with paralysis in a dog that young or that particular breed, but my German Shepherd was incontinent due to a degenerative disorder that left him paralyzed. The best thing we learned is how to express his bladder for him. The vet showed us, but there is also helpful information and photos if you search the Web. Expressing him when we took him out several times a day really cut down on accidents and leakage.
To protect his bed, we wrapped it in sheets of polyurethane and then put a comforter and sheets over that. It protected the bed, gave him lots of padding, and it was easier to wash the sheets than to keep buying new beds.
Best of luck.
