We've had 2 tripods at our house from amputation for osteosarcoma. We found slick floors to be very difficult for them. We bought rubber backed rugs and made carpet paths across the slick floors.

Some tripods re-learn stairs and some do not. Going down is very difficult for a front leg amputee and going up is difficult for a back-leg amputee. From what I've seen, I think a back leg amputee has an easier time getting around in general than a front leg amputee.

Walking seems more difficult than running for a tripod.

WE do the same here, GRady (9) is my tripod, rear leg. Walking is issue, running well no problem there when he sees a deer in field next to yard, he can beat the other 5(icluding a 3 yr old) to the back fence(about 500 yards)

i also bought a small, foldable ramp to help ember get in and out of the car. she had no problems jumping in the car, we used it for getting out. i also put a runner in my kitchen so she could get to the back door. loved that video clip. here is ember walking 2 days after surgery.

These are some really good tips, keep them coming.

I am always inspired by how quickly greyhounds adapt to having 3 legs.
