Happened to my dachshund in 2012 then 2013. First time she was fine after 10 days. Next time the vet said there was nothing we could do...had to put her down . Just be optimistic and keep movement at a minimum.

Happened to my folks daschund years ago. Doc said w/o surgery dog would never walk again.Best to put her down w/o it.

My Mom, who is old school German FWIW, took that dog and put her in the tub every day to help support the weight off her back. She also massaged that dogs back legs and spine area everyday for about two-three weeks. Dogs pain lessened, starting walking (slow going) and in 3 months or so was back to almost 100%.

Mom took her back to the vet,told him what she did, showed him the dog walking nearly good as new and then promptly told him he should look for a new line of work because he wasn't worth a damn at this!
Ya gotta love her!

FWIW He didn't go to Auburn.
