I have had problems with 2 of my doxies who were from the same parents but different liters. In April 2010 Honey was fine one day and the next day she didnt want to move and was acting weird (at this time I had no idea about Dachshunds bad backs). So we took her to the vet and we were given...

Loaded it to youtube. Here he is playing! YouTube

Update of Harley... he has gained his back legs back and can walk again!! Not 100% and still a little wobbly but a huge improvement since July. Once we got his cart over time he slowly gained his tail wagging back but his back paws would still knuckle over. About a week later his back legs...

Hello Im looking to see if anyone has experience with their doxie being in a wheelchair. My doxie is losing function of his back legs just recently to a bad back. He still has some feeling but he is not able to stand on his own. The vet has him on steroids, muscle relaxers and is doing a laser...
