Sig MarineOur Injured Dachshund Would Appreciate Your Kind Thoughts - Ollie - UPDATE on pg 6
We had disk surgery on a 9 year old mini that was not cheap, around $4000 as I recall. Surgery went well and she lived to 16 without any further issues although we were extremely careful with her activities. I have never regretted the cost or having the surgery performed and would do it again without hesitation. I wish the best for Ollie and that his surgery and recovery go as well as it did for our Klein.

NavyGuySo sorry for Ollie's suffering. We've had various breads through out the years but never Dachshund, but we have several neighbors who walk them past our house and if I'm out they come to me for pets. Great little dogs.
Best wishes.

clubleaf206My friend has a miniature long hair, Lacy, I call her my “furry girlfriend”. My friend has had mini dachshunds for as long as I’ve known her, so I’ve been made aware of the spinal problems they can have. Lacy and I both wish your Ollie a fast and full recovery.

clipper1Best of luck for Ollie, some prayers too.

h2oysThank you each and every one of you!
The surgery was successful and now the recovery.
Apparently his spinal nerve is bruised and swollen. They plan on a 2-7 day recovery and he starts PT tomorrow. He may or may not be completely ambulatory when he comes home. It all depends on how quickly the swelling and bruising goes away.
I truly believe in the power of prayer so thanks for everything so far and also in the days to come.

Some years ago one of my "regular" outdoor feral cats was found with a broken leg. I spent more than $4000 getting that fixed and she was a constant visitor to my yard and I think may still be alive (she doesn't like the current bunch of cats coming to the yard and stopped coming a couple of years ago).
I never regretted the expense to fix Mollie's leg. She was a delight to have come to my yard.
I am pleased that the dachshund's surgery went well and is on the mend.
