Hi and thanks for using PetCoach! Sorry to hear about Hope. You should look into getting her a canine cart. https://www.handicappedpets.com/adjustable-dog-wheelchairs/?gclid=Cj0KEQjwuZvIBRD-8Z6B2M2Sy68BEiQAtjYS3OMEbz0NV1_kp4UMsDcVjG2GyNezJpkfPvqzekxUqdAaAmuV8P8HAQ Not sure about prosthetics but you could contact a veterinary college near you. Good luck. She looks so sweet.
