My dachshund is 9 yrs old and has become a little inactive. Earlier he used play a lot in the park but now he just goes there and lies down or scratches his back. All suggestions or views are welcome.

This is Digger, my mother's 15 year old male Piebald Dachshund with ticking. (Well, he is kind of my mother and I's dog) These pictures are of him camping with us for my birthday. We adopted him from a lady about 11 years ago (he was 4 at the time). She gave him to us because she could not...

Hey here is my introduction again, but this time I wanted to add pictures of my dogs, cause like most parents I love showing them off. I know I'm a nerd, b ut love my dogs :D The red dapple under the table is Sniffy. Excuse the dust, we just moved in... The dog on the floor with one paw off...

Hello my name is Lee Ann and live out in the country with my 3 dachshunds. Vegas is a 7 y/o red dabble. She has one blue eye (wall eye) and one brown. She weighs about 8 lbs. She is smart and loving. Peanut who is a 6 y/o male black and tan brindle is one of a kind. He is always the first out...

I have a 5 year old male, who is the sweetest little guy. But I'm so worried because he recently started crying when I pick him up and pet him. About 7 months ago he went through a 8 week period of not being able to use his back legs. Whats happening now was what happened to him right before...

This is Spliff. He is a 5-6 month old male Dapple Dachshund. We were told by the people we got him through that he was born with a crooked spine. It seems to start curving at the hips and on through the tail. It doesn't seem to affect him now, but it most likely will when he gets older.

A week ago we picked up this cutie to foster: He's a dachshund mix and had been abandoned outside so we don't really know his back story. Walter is really sweet and playful--he has the typical dachshund stubbornness, though! :lol: There are already two applications in to adopt him, haha...

Belle has skin issues. She gets dandruff that is rather smelly. And the tips of her ears get crusty. Tonight I noticed it and went to scratch it off and it bled a little. It never did that before. Frank gets it from time to time but not as bad as she does. I have started washing both of them...

I have been a Dachshund fan for years and am the proud 'mom' of Good Golly Miss Molly, who epitomizes the courage and dignity of the Dachshund and who entertains me daily with her clownish, inquiring, and impish temperament. I hope that by joining this forum, it will enrich me with a broad-base...

We have a 6 year old dachshund mix.. Here is a brief history.. About two months ago he woke up unable to walk good. My wife thought he had a stroke. We carried him outside to go potty and his back legs were just slipping out from under him.. He was still somewhat able to use them but not able to...

Well here is Rusty (left) and Harvey (right). I had a squeaker ball and they were going crazy over it. I thought Rusty's look was hilarious so I had to post it :D Rusty just got neutered on Wednesday and is doing very well. You wouldn't know that he had an operation the way he's acting all...
