Default Wheelchairs for dogs

I know we have a lot of dog owners on this forum, so I’m hoping for some advice or suggestions.

Our little dog had back surgery to repair a slipped disc 7 years ago. Since the surgery, his back legs have always given him a bit of trouble, but he’s been able to get around and is as happy as can be. Especially during the winter, it seems his back issues flare up and we do our best to help with massages or pain medication.

This weekend is the worst I have seen him in quite some time and we are booked in with the vet tomorrow. We are bracing for the worst, but our hopes are we can get him back on track with medicine and rest. However, I am wondering if anyone has any experience having their dog in a wheelchair. It appears you can rent them and there are many brands on amazon. I’m just hoping to give our little buddy some relief, whether it be short term or longer term.

I guess another question is has anyone had good experience with doggy physiotherapy?

Thanks in advance!
