Over the next several weeks, Ginger increasingly struggled going up the stairs, and began “bunny hopping” up the steps. After visiting with a veterinary specialist, we were heartbroken to hear this little puppy had severe hip dysplasia. So Ginger underwent a special surgery for puppies called a Triple Pelvic Osteotomy or TPO on her right hip. We were relieved to find out her surgery went well and get her home, naive to challenges ahead of us. We were instructed to use a towel to support her surgically repaired hip anytime she needed to walk, including out to go potty. Once the sedation wore off, we could tell she already felt much better and was raring to go! Each day without any exercise, Ginger’s energy level grew exponentially, and she wanted to play with Wilson so badly. She was excited every time she went outside and was hard to control. Going up and down stairs was especially challenging. Frequently off balance, we were concerned about Ginger's safety as well as our own. Nevertheless, she recovered and was a happy dog again. She enjoyed playing with Wilson, hiking, swimming and all activities dogs love. It was so great to see them playing again. A couple of years later Ginger started occasionally limping on her “good” leg after playing hard, but would be fine after a few days. Over time, she started limping more often and seemed to worsen after weeks of inactivity. We went back to the hospital to see the orthopedic specialist assuming her other hip or a torn ACL (CCL in dogs) was the problem. We were surprised when she was diagnosed with a luxating patella (more common in small dogs) on her back left knee and surgery was performed once again. After surgery a sling was provided, which was better than a towel; however, we were still unable to control Ginger. She was much bigger and stronger than after her first surgery. Her front legs were powerful and she frequently wanted to run and jump, or dash down the stairs. It was difficult to give her adequate support and restraint during her recovery, however, this being our second time through surgery, we were determined to make it easier on all of us. We decided we needed a way to connect the support sling to her collar, preventing her from darting ahead, giving us the control and confidence for a safe recovery. ...and the GingerLead was born!

GingerLead's patented design provides SUPPORT and CONTROL for a SAFE recovery after TPLO \/ knee surgery, joint injuries or IVDD.  Help old, disabled, or three legged pets with their mobility and balance. Assistance up or down steps, into vehicles, walks to the park or out to go potty.  “I recommend GingerLead to the owners of all of my postop orthopedic patients and for dogs that are debilitated or unstable as the result of old age, severe arthritis, or neurological disease.”  The Small Female GingerLead is generally for small to medium size female dogs 20-50 lbs, or larger breeds with a barrel chest and a narrow waist, like Boxers. Support pad is 4\" wide x 19\" long. Straps adjust from 37\" - 60\" long.  Measure from the front of the hind legs to the base of the rib cage to determine the support pad width. For large barrel chested dogs, downsizing to the Small size is common for a better fit. NOTE: Support pad holds it shape and does not bunch up. If 4\" seems too wide, consider the Small Male or X-Small.  Measure starting where the handle of the GingerLead will rest in your hand (while you are standing upright), continue under your dog’s belly, up the other side, then back to your hand completing the loop. If it measures 37” or less, order the Tall size. GingerLead is a small, family owned business proudly manufacturing mobility aids for pets in Colorado, U.S.A. since 2008.
