I am very sorry to hear that. Each case is different. I will not try to guess how he may do. I am glad you are looking into carts. I have seen several positive reports on them. Don't know if you need them, but here are a couple of links others have said they used, http://WWW.K9carts.com and
http://www.eddieswheels.com I have a hoard of credible links.

Do a search here and you may even find who originally posted them and share experience. It may have been over 6 months ago.

OK, I right clicked on edit and selected open in a new window.
I tried to add the title testing.

I had something go terrible wrong with one of our cat, what was a simple abscess in her ear, turned into major surgery. The cost was $3,500. Loving my cat as much as I love the air I breathe, I almost died right there. I drive a bus for a living and we all know what that pays, I spoke with the office and they agreed to let me make monthly installment, it took a while but I did pay off the bill. Along with K-9 Carts (http://www.k9carts.com/) there is also Eddie’s wheels for pets (http://www.eddieswheels.com/) if in the event you need more wheel chair sites.
