Dachshund back problem

Post by Ren »

Hi there,

My 4 years old Dachshund has a back problem (disk problem) that
affects most Dachshunds.
The vet said that she should not move at all for 30 days otherwise
she might take the risk of losing the feelings in both back legs.
She's in a box at the moment, that's the only way we found to
make her stop moving. I was wondering if anyone knows of any
sort of immobilizer that would prevent her from moving from side
to side. She would at least be able to walk for the next 30 days.
If you can help, I would appreciate if you could reply to me. Please email to me in case you reply to this message as I won't come back to this forum again.

Thanks!

crating usually helps a lot. I don't know of any

back brace for puppers, but for support you might try abledogs.net and join their VERY active email list. Almost everybody there has done this.
