I have a long hair Dachshund about 16 months old. He's mostly potty trained, to go outside, however, every time he gets really excited to see someone, he loses control and pees all over the floor. I don't think he's doing it on purpose and I can't really punish him for it, but what can I do? I...

I've got an 11 month old long hair Dachshund puppy. Within the last week or so I've noticed he has a small but growing bald spot on his belly, and another one around the bottom of his neck where his collar sits. I haven't seen him itching it and there doesn't appear to be anything wrong with his...

I have a 9 month old Dachshund puppy. When I take him out in public he's usually quiet, even around other dogs. But if a stranger comes over to my house, he goes nuts! He will bark at the top of his lungs for hours until the stranger leaves. How can I stop this behavior? Obviously telling him...

I have a mini dachshund a little over 6 months old. Every night since I've had him (about 3 months) he gets put in the laundry room with his bed, some toys, a little food, and some water. Every night except the last 4 nights he's been fine with that. He goes to sleep and I don't hear a peep out...

I brought home this little bag of trouble a few months ago. He's 6 months old now, supposedly a purebread mini long hair dachshund, but he has no papers to prove it. Everything I can find about "long hairs" on the internet shows dogs with much longer hair than his. He's obviously not a short...

I lost my best friend, Hoover, almost 7 months ago. I still miss him every single day. :( I brought home a new puppy because I thought that would help, but it hasn't. Now I find myself having to distinguish between the two dogs by saying something like "my old dog" or "my last dog", but somehow...

I have a 3 1/2 month old mini dachshund that I got about two weeks ago. The vet said he was pretty thin and to let him have as much food as he wanted. I have but he doesn't eat much. He still seems really thin - his ribs feel like there's nothing but fur and bone. He's on dry food and that's...

Yesterday my pocket pc reminded me today is my dog's birthday. I got him a bone while I was out...it wasn't until I was waiting in line to pay that I realized he died a few months ago. :( He would have been 13 today. I'd give up everything I own just to throw the ball for him one more time. :(...

Last month my best buddy Hoover passed away. :( He was a Basset Hound/Beagle mix - but he looked and acted mostly like a basset hound. I'm not ready now, but in a few months I need to find a new buddy. I don't know much about basset hounds except for what I know from living with him for 12...

Thanks for the support everyone. I forgot to mention I had the vet come out to the house...I would definately recommend that to anyone who finds this thread in the future.

Well, he's in a better place now. Good boy, Hoover.

Thanks for the replies everyone. He made it through christmas, but I think tomarrow might be the day. :( He still had the strength to open all his presents and he's been sitting peacefully under the tree pretty much the whole time. I just want to throw the ball for him one more...

I got back from the vet a little while ago...my 12 year old basset hound has heart and liver failure. :( I'm hoping he'll make it through christmas, and then go naturally, but I may have to take him back for...well, you know what. :( :( I would just like to know how that's done? Just a...

He doesn't seem to be interested in any water either. I put a bowl next to him and tried to give him some with an eye dropper, but he just turned away. No sign of a fever though...

He won't eat anything at all, though it hasn't been very long, he ate breakfast fine this morning. His eyes look perfectly clear and normal, his nose is dry, and his gums look fine. He doesn't normally wag his tail, but he will "shake hands" when I ask him and he likes to do that all the time.

I have known him for 12 years. I can tell when he is in pain. Dogs do not just lay there quietly when they are in pain. They whine, they growl, they bark, they bite, they bleed, they limp, etc. Just like people, it is normal for animals to get sick from time to time. Most people do not run to...

He does not seem to be in any pain at all. Whenever he does hurt he's always very grumpy and will try to bite if you get near whatever hurts, and he's not doing any of that now. He also walks fine whenever he does get up. If he was clearly in pain then yes, he would be at a vet for sure, but...

I have a 12 year old beagle/basset hound mix. A few weeks ago I noticed he was shaking, like he was really cold. (but he was in the house) A short time later he was also drooling. He went to bed on his own and the next morning he seemed better, but wouldn't get up. That afternoon he got up and...
