my poor daschund.
Jun 13 2008, 9:12 AM EDT
my minature daschund of 5 years was a ball of energy and life. last week he woke my house up by crying out in pain and wincing in agony. when i tried to comfort him he lunged out at me "something he has never done!" so i knew something was really wrong. i took him to the veet and x rays yielded nothing. a few days later the same thing happened, but after about 5 minutes he seemed fine. these agonizing episodes seem to be happening more frequently, they are agonizing for the little guy for the obvious pain but more agonizing for the family beacuse we cant help him. does any one know what i can do, or know what is going on

We have 2 Mini Daschunds.. the younger of the two is usually really hyper and happy but one evening she just started acting weird. I tried to pick her up and she cried and yelped until I got her on the couch. The next day I took her to the vet and they said that because of their length it is hard for them to go to the bathroom enough and sometimes it gets backed up. They cleared her out and gave her some medicine. I know that it isn't the best thing to think about dealing with but maybe that with give you another option to look for.. hope it helps and your baby is ok

I am an owner of several dogs who has made over the years several trips to the vet. Experience has taught me that acute pain like the type you're describing in your daschund is one of two things: back or G.I. A good diagnostic vet is invaluable - apparently your vet isn't coming up with solutions and I know how distressing this can be.. If you're in the Los Angeles area do you have friends that have a GREAT diagnostic vet? I have one in SD, but that's pretty far from you. If back, she should be put on muscle relaxants and pain pills so that she can begin to heal - no stairs. If GI, then they'll probably do Pepcid 10 mg, twice daily OR there are other additional GI medications in addition dependent upon the GI problem. 1 out of 1 found this valuable. Do you? |

The exact same thing has just been going on with my mini. I am so scared that it is her spine. Then I saw your conversation online and I am wondering if this is the same problem my sweet dog is having. Could you please tell me how things worked out for your dog?Who is the best dachshund vet in los angeles and who can help with this problem? Thank you for your help Do you find this valuable? |

I'd call the county vet association or a dachshound association to find a vet that can do these things. Sounds like your vet wasn't that good. friend took a sick cat in and vet gave it a clean bill of health-the next week it was in pure agony-took it to our vet- It was filled with cancer-could feel growths in stomach and lymph glands.Do you have a VCA clinic in your area? I've found this chain to have excellent vets. Good luck. Also, I'd be careful about giving laxative-is the stomach hard-that's sign of GI trouble-gut could be twisted-like in the movie "Marley" could've twisted while jumpinng around adter eating.-which is why laxaTIVE NOT GOOD- IS DOG GOING POOP?

My 4 year old daschund.. has been off track with pottying for a month. She gets backed up, i take her in, they clear her out, give her medicine.. and even pure fiber canned dog food for 1 day. She is alright for about 2 days..and it starts over. i know something should solve this. she hasnt changed foods & she doesnt get table food. Does anyone have an idea of something natural i can give her to help her?

Artificial sweetner in gum can kill dogs-so I'd ask a vet <justanswer.com/veterinary> is an excellent source that I use. I'd ask if you could mix in some fiber like citricel-no artificial sweetners- or a tad of mineral oil-If you don't like the answer or approve it-they don't charge you. I took my hounds in on seperate days-and got conflicting advice on when the booster shot had to be given. I got on this site and they explained the conflict. I wanted to and did approve the answer-and I authorized a payment of higher than the base of $9. They saved me money, my hounds physical stress and ensured their health. Be sure to give them the weight of your dog-- Do you walk your dog 2x a day? -that will help this problem and strengthen the back and reduce other physical problems. good luck
