Do Dachshunds have back problems?

They can. Dogs Trust says Dachshunds are predisposed to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD), similar to a slipped disc in humans, which can cause weakness, loss of balance and even paralysis. The Royal Kennel Club asks breeders to screen their dogs' spines under its IVDD screening scheme. Ask the rescue whether this dog has had any back problems, and see your vet promptly if you notice weakness or wobbliness.
