re: Our Dachshund is paralyzed from a fall. Anyone dealt with this before?

He is still peeing and sort of lets you know by whimpering. Pooping is something he can't feel so it happens when it happens.

I think it is time to put the dog down, unless you want to try the wheelchair and maybe some other treatments to see if he'll get some use of his legs or regain bowel control.

I've had a dog and a cat that I waited too long to put them down (which I greatly regret to this day).

I used to think "the older I get, the easier it will be" but it just gets harder. My Dad is a 93 year old USMC lifer, and at 75, he said "I'm not putting any more dogs down - I just couldn't stand to do another one."
