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 ...

Concur with Dr. Doug, if he still has some feeling then there is some hope. We have had two with the same scenario. One is mobile again though somewhat limited and the other did not recover and we ended up helping her to the bridge.
Our experience is that the next few weeks are critical and you need to keep him in a limited movement environment so that he can be quiet and heal. We used rymadil for the pain and inflammation.
I hope that yours can recover and we wish you both well with the process but you need to remain objective as taking care of a disabled dog is a great deal of work.
