Our dachshund, Sherlock, hurt himself coming down the stairs yesterday, but seemed fine afterwards. Even this morning when I got up he seemed to be doing ok. He's 3.5, so not old by dog standards. Today when I got home he wasn’t walking well, so we took him to the emergency vet. He’s partially paralyzed, so we are going to take him in for back surgery tomorrow first thing in the morning. I guess it's not uncommon for dachshunds to slip a disk. I wish we'd had a clue yesterday when it happened instead of waiting. He’s staying over-night at the emergency vet tonight.

Cross your fingers, say a prayer, whatever you do. This dog is my wife's baby. It'll kill her if he's not ok.

The doc tonight seemed to think he was a good candidate and said that the surgery has a good success rate. I hope he wasn't just trying to make us feel better.

Thanks all
