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 ...

In 2006 we were full-timing and in Branson. Our 10 y/o female doxie's back went out when we were there. She spent the night in the pet hospital in Springfield. Her prognosis was not good without surgery, according to the vet. He prescribed prednisone as well as a muscle relaxer and something for pain. We kept her confined to her crate for 1 month. The prednisone made her thirsty, hence, a lot of urinating. I had plenty of blankets and blue pads. We carried her outside in her crate to potty and allowed her to barely move outside the crate by putting a leash on her. Long story short...she passed away this past January and was nearly 18. She regained the use of her legs and lived to be a sweet little old lady.
