My friends dachshund is having back problems and is looking for a vet who might specialize in this. She is located in the Seagrove beach area. Any suggestions?

I don't know if they specialize in back problems for Dachshunds, but Dr Amy Williams at Kindness Pet Hospital, located at the west end of 30-A north and adjacent to Butler Elementary school, is a great vet. Her partner is Dr Susan Petro.

Kindness Pet Hospital
6744 W Co Hwy 30-A
SRB, FL 32459

office) 850-267-3955
emergency) 850-729-3335

If they cannot help you, they should know someone who can.

Not something to fool around with. They are very prone to intervertebral disc disease and rupture. Surgery may be required. Not a lot of us every day vets do that type of surgery. Your best be is to see a board certified veterinary surgeon. This may require going to a specialty practice or a university ie UofF or Auburn.

Yikes! We have a Welsh Corgi with that long back like a Dachsund. How prone are they to this disease? We keep her relatively trim (for a Corgi) and she gets a couple walks daily, but I'm sure could use more exercise.


:blink: You got me a tad concerned now.

i don't see a lot of Corgi's with back problems. I'm not sure of their incidence. I don't have a lot of corgi's in my practice.

Jessifunn looks like a corgie. Long back...short legs. Do you have back problems?
