All things in perspective, it sounds like Kess is doing fantastic! Wow, did it really take 2 years to find what was wrong? I guess I no longer feel alone in it taking a long time finding out what was wrong with my dog! Like your Kess, my dog fears slipping, so my wood floors are almost completely covered with rubber backed throw rugs. It was a real struggle to get her thru one section of my house after she did slip a couple of times. The fear is still there a little bit at times when she is feeling off balance/weak but has improved with of course, putting rugs down but also clicker training her to not be so fearful thru that room. When I'm in a place where throw rugs aren't possible, I use the Pawz rubber bootie on Maggie's remaining rear paw. They are sorta like balloons...not a permanent fix for a bootie but are re-useable for a long time. She has yet to wear one out but I don't use them often. Maybe that would be better for Kess?
