it's good to hear. i don't really know about dachshund back injuries. i looked it up quickly when you posted in the last thread. it could be a slipped disk. in addition, it could be a pinched nerve. it could be the fluid leaking out of the disk and damaging the spinal cord. it could be all three messing around with the spinal cord.
it's hard to tell what to do sometimes because animals are really good at healing themselves. most vets don't want to intervene unless they have too. just spend some time on the net familiarizing yourself with this specific type of injury in these dogs. there's lots of different treatment options. i even remember seeing one option to put them in a cage alot so they can't hurt themselves more while they heal. like being real careful with him for 5 months. not that he can jump but don't let him jump off anything or put too much pressure on his front legs. and if you don't have a fence, don't leave him outside where a coyote or something can get him.
i don't know why im good with animals. ..everyones born with something. there's not much i wouldn't do for them.
heyelander would know and have more experience than me with dachshunds. but sooner or later you'll end up being the expert on them. sometimes love is the best medicine while they do their thing.
there's a million articles on this stuff. http://www.articlesbase.com/pets-art...le-558405.html

Treatment almost always includes using an anti-inflammatory medicine. You'll hear the term "conservative treatment", this means a less radical approach or non surgical. Conservative treatments can include rest and medication, injections (Adequan is a medication said to promote healing of disc cartilage) and even chiropractic or acupuncture treatments.
