Roger,
Dashounds are known to have back problems due to the length of the body
between the front and back legs.
She could need more medical attention as could get the spinal cord pinched.

Subject: CS>Back problem
I have a miniature long haired Dachshund who has developed a back problem.
Over a period of about three days she lost the use of her back legs due to a
ruptured disc.
After two weeks of confinement I bought a small round paddling pool, filled
it with enough water to support her and take her walkies¹ for 20 minutes twice
a day.
Over the last week she has improved to the stage where she walks quite well
in the pool and has managed to stand but not walk when out of it.
Her medication (apart from CS in her water) is 500mg of ester vit. C
morning and evening.
Would anyone have any idea if DSMO applied externally would help her
condition or any other ideas for her recovery?
Thanks for listening,
Roger B
