Dog hurt his back leg?

Last night i let my dog (dachshund) inside and noticed he was limping very badly on his back leg. I tried to look at it and he started yelping when i tried looking at it. I tried to take him for a walk like I do every morning, but he was whining and yelping so I couldnt even do that. He won't even move from under the chair now. Im not sure what happened to his leg either. Any idea of what might be wrong?


He's 6 years old, by the way.

I know dacshunds are prone to back injuries so do you think that could be the case?

happens to my Cockapoo all the time
he has a bad hip
sometimes the hip gets displaced and needs to be popped back in
this can be very painful for them so do not attempt this
take you pup to the vet for the best results

Take it to the vet, the Yahoo Answers community can't help you very much.

Consult a vet you will get a better diagnosis we can't see the dog .
