Dachshund back injuries?

hmmmm is there such thing as dog insurance?

Dachshund Back Injuries

The vet is the only one who can answer this for you. It is possible that he slipped a disc in his back and that you could pop that back in, but if you don't know how to do that, you could cause more injuries to the dog. Call around to the vets in your area and find the AG vet. The AG vet is the vet who is staffed so that they can come to your house and treat your pets. They can drive out to where you live and take care of your dog. We have all reached a bump in the road, but dogs come first, so don't make excuses, find a way to pay the vet bill. Maybe there is some work you can do for your vet, or trade services or trade something you own. My vet would cut my dogs nails and I would bake her peanut butter cookies. My hair dresser would cut my hair and I would print things off my computer. Any one in a service industry will trade with you,, you just have to ask. I trades shots from a doctor once for a roll of stickers. They gave out the stickers to kids for being brave when they got shots.

A vet is your best bet here. Dachshund back injuries are usually very sudden and can vary widely in seriousness. Limit his movement big time because his condition can worsen if his back is inflamed and you should try to take him to the vet asap. It's really not something you should treat at home without vet instructions.

In the future I would lift him on and off the couch or not let him up at all. Also, carry him up and down the stairs, etc.

Almost every Dachshund blows out their back and has some sort of injury- That shape just isnt normal in a dog. Bassets get the same problems. He possibly slipped a disc or pinched a nerve.

He is going to need to see a vet very shortly, or it's going to escalate.. I suggest pawning a few things or borrowing from family/friends, because this is something that needs attention rather quickly.

The dog needs to be taken to a vet. He's injured and in pain.

You can pay for the internet so you're not destitute. Go without something yourself and take the dog to the vet. Surely there is someone you know who has a car who will drive you to the vet.

Have you investigated any low cost vets in your area? Have you asked your vet for a payment plan? Contacted the humane society for advice?

i had the same problem with my doxie, she limped really bad, hunched over and walked with her head c0cked to one side and anytime we would try to pick her up or touch her she would yelp. i was devastated :( but i took her to the vet and she acted fine, she vet said dogs will do that as self defense and hide injuries around strangers and sure enough when we got home she started limping again. he told us it was her back and gave us a prescription for a muscle relaxer and pain medication and ordered lots of rest, no running, jumping or anything. he said that he had seen doxies like this before with minor injury and then come back a week later dragging their legs behind them because the owners didnt monitor their activity level like directed. well shes back to normal now and its been almost a year sense. i have her taking glucosamine joint vitamins now which also help arthritis and shes as healthy as can be.

i would say that the vet would do the same in this occasion and trust me those meds are not cheap at all but he is your child and responsibility, you have to do whats best for him bc your all he has. plus you dont want it to escalate to him being paralyzed right. ask for help, do what ever it takes

Personally, I would take him to the vet's office just to be safe. Have the vet evaluate the injury. It might be necessary for an x-ray as well. In my opinion, it's usually best to bring them sooner rather than later. Good luck & I hope he's okay!

Sciatica is a pain that results from irritation of one of sciatic nerves. This is a lower back pain that goes down to hip and then to both legs extending to feet and toes in some cases. Sciatica nerve is the largest nerve in our body. Running down the spine through the hip, sciatic nerve goes down to knee and ankle. Any damage or pressure on this nerve results in debilitating sciatica pain that needs thorough investigation of probable causes on the basis of symptoms to provide relief to the patient on a permanent basis.

I'm sorry, this can happen to anyone.

Maybe ask a friend to help you,

call vets to see which will let you pay part/monthly

or take your dog to a shelter.

He really needs to see a vet.
