Tamago, it sounds like you jumped into this without the proper knowledge of what you were getting into. Saying some ------- recommended the MAF-T doesn't help the fact that there are better possibilities out there that you could have turned to if you had used your brain + google for a few hours of reading. It's no ones fault but your own that you have shitty fuel management. However it seems you have realized this and are heading in the right direction with things. Look into everything some more, ask around, make a wise decision and don't ---- up like that again.

I what it really came down to was he didn't have the ***** yet to attempt something without holding his hand. Someone he knew recommended the maf-t im sure and he figured, well i can ask that guy if i have issues.
He probably didn't know much about MS at the time, and didn't want to jump into it himself without someone in real life to hold his hand.
solution:
grow some ***** and sprout a hair my friend.

Trinity (name was pre-existing to her three legged condition, don't ask me how it worked out like this) is peeling a little bit off the pads of her single front leg. She exhibits no discomfort and it really doesn't look like it hurts anyway, but the gf is concerned. The dog is at the point in her recovery where she's been on one long walk and 30,000 short ones, has gotten a little better balancewise so she only falls down the stairs and faceplants every third time she goes down them.

Thanks!

I'll ask the wife. How long has she been 3 legged? Our dog - Skippy (named on purpose) took a while getting used to it's lack of a rear leg which I would assume is a bit easier than adapting to a lost front leg but now it keeps up with the other dogs just fine. People come by and don't even notice at first the dog is missing a leg.

As you've probably surmised, the pad damage would be from a) bearing the weight the other would have and b) she is not only putting the weight *down* on the paw but *down and forward* because she's unable to transfer her weight from side to side, thus she's getting much more impact, more friction there.

I'll see if the wife can recommend some sort of...i dunno...garment she can wear while her body adapts. Otherwise she'll probably end up damaging her paw pads to the point where she'd be all but completely immobile, making a bad situation worse.

JD, the cracking by itself doesnt usually hurt the dog but if out on pavement or gravel it can cause a burning sensation, if trinity will tolerate it put some "no-add" brand of Aloe Vera gel on the pad just before going out on walks. it has an anestetic in it that will stop any pain its causing when she walks and it will lubricate the pad to prevent more cracking/seperation. its really cheap, you can get it at a grocery store or pharmacy.

what the ---- are you talking about? i have just over $200 in my MS, and it will do anything a aem will. i have launch controll, fan controll, easy to datalog, easy to tune, and more support than aem.
