Quoted from dtown:Our precious dachshund, Lance. He's 10 years old and has the typical back problems associated with the breed. Early last year, he temporarily lost the use of his back legs for almost three months. It was very tough but after a lot of rest, pills and cleaning up his poop bucket (a large Rubbermaid pan) he started to gain the use again. Now, the wife and I have to not let him get too excited because he'll run around like a nut. He doesn't realize his limitations. Winters are always the hardest but he made it through another one without an issue.

My dachshund is almost 10 and has ruptured a disc twice. Both times he lost control of his lower half. Check out VOM (veterinary orthopedic manipulation) and see if anyone does it around you. I got amazing results from it both times and he isn't in any pain now. It's been a few years since the last incident.
