Thank you for your support. Unfortunately he is not responding to the meds. The vet said our only options are surgery (which we cannot afford), a wheelchair, or put him down. I don't like any of those options and am going to get a 2nd opinion. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I am so sorry for your loss but you really cant blame yourself (even though its hard to do). Your post really hit home for me (much like many other doxie owners) bc tonight I just took my little guy to the vet for an emergency visit. All of the sudden he started groaning softly but not crying...

Never thought about those things!! Thanks for the suggestions! All my pups eat the same food (nutro) and the others appear to be fine.. Then again they are not short haired dogs so it would be hard to determine if they were "sweating" too. Maybe I should get him checked out for hypothyroidism...

I know dogs sweat through their paws and tongues but my short haired mini appears to sweat in his pawpit (armpit) areas and his belly. Is that normal? Does anyone else's doxie "sweat" too?

Hello fellow dachshund lovers, I'm not sure if we are allowed to post about fundraising... :confused: but I am running a 5k/fundraising to benefit an alliance of local (Central PA) animal rescues and shelters AND the Dachshund Rescue of North America. If you live in Central PA and would...

I too have a chocolate & tan long haired doxie... I would DEF take this little cutie if I didn't already have 3 dogs :(

did you go with healthypaws?

Thanks for your post kirp! My doxies aren't injured but I was thinking it might be good as a preventative stand point. But like your doxie.. I'm sure mine wouldn't be comfortable or like it much. Hope your little guy is ok (if he was injured)!

Thanks for the tips! :)

I wonder if it is too late to start my doxies on Glucosamine...they are turning 3 & 5.... too bad about the wiggleless thing....seemed like a good idea!

would like to know if anyone has used the wiggleless back supporters... very curious to see if they work and/or are helpful.

Hi all, My name is Amanda and I have 2 "tweenie" doxies (1 long & 1 smooth) and a Schipperke. I'm a HUGE dog lover...maybe borderline obsessed. :p
