Need moral support and help
My 8 year old dachsund tried to jump on the couch the other day and hurt himself badly. The vet said he got the disk disease that many dachshunds have. He has lost almost all feeling in his back legs ...

We had a similar scenario. Raised 7 doxies....they are our favorite.
Medical management takes time and effort to help restore function.
Two of our doxies had back injuries and had medications and water therapy every day. They were carried outside to potty including being carried to the potty pads down the hall.
Keeping pain under control and limiting activity helped the healing process. Pain meds and prednisone were the primary choice by our veterinarian.
Don't give up and don't start with surgery.
Best of luck!!!
