My dachshund is a 13 year old, long haired mini. Yesterday afternoon she lost movement in one back led and by 8:00 at night she lost total movement in her back legs. We bought her to our emergency vet and he said it is a disc in her back. Also that she has a 25% chance that she will get movement/feeling back in her legs. He suggested surgery but it is going to be $5,000 and honestly we don't have it. Our other concern is she is 13 but she has never had any health issues til this happened. He did say she will probably end up in a wheel chair then since we can't afford surgery. Does anyone have a doxie that is in a wheel chair or have additional knowledge of doxie back problems. My main concern is will she adjust to a wheel chair? will she be incontinence cause of this? She has had accidents the past day now but we think because she can't walk. We are going to our regular vet tomorrow. Right now I need some opinions and some resources.
Thanks!
