Gosh you have had a hard time with dogs lately. I am sorry. We always have 3 dogs and up until our latest rescue they have all been BIG dogs. All have died of old age so we have dealt with this hip thing a lot. The towel works very well if you can get her front legs in the car. It is much more difficult to get them out. Maybe if you put the ramp up somewhere else, like by your bed and practice with the towel getting her to negotiate that with help and she maybe wouldn't be so frightened. The towel works great when she gets a little older and has trouble getting up or walking. I rehabed our old Lab by getting her up with it and out the door, down the steps and just supported her back while she did her potty. I am small but this did not stress me or her. Good luck. ((((HUGS))))
