Disc Disease
I have received many questions about Dachshunds having bad backs. I have grown up with Dachshunds my entire life and have yet to have one with a back problem. This has much to do with 2 things; the quality of the dog and the way you care for your dog. Please read below in regards to preventative maintenance of your little doxies! I borrowed this from the Dodgerlist.com.
Dachshund Back Problem Prevention Points
(And ways to lesson the chance of making existing back problems worse)
1.) Always select a reputable breeder. Many believe IVDD (Intervertabral Disc Disease) is hereditary and reputable breeders always study and know the dogs in a pedigree. It has been proven that reputable breeders have far less incidence of back problems.
2.) Always keep your Dachshund trim.
3.) Limit their jumping as much as possible. Purchasing ramps may help.
4.) Feed a good nutritious diet.
5.) Find a vet that knows the breed and discuss with them their treatment(s) for disc disease. A checklist of questions to ask the ER, general and specialist vets)
6.) Use common sense and avoid circumstances that could cause injuries to a long-bodied dog. A lot of injuries occur because of slipping, sharp turns, running into things and twisting.
7.) Get your Dachshund used to a crate as a puppy in case of any future circumstances which would require a pro-longed confinement.
8.) Keep the nails cut short
9.) A harness may prevent extra stress on the neck area.
10.) Always pick up your Dachshund supporting the back.
11.) Know the common IVDD drugs and their adverse reactions
