    Is something wrong with my dog?
    He used to be excited to see me, now he doesn't really and wags his tail a little bit when he see's I'm coming, then when I touch him he hides his tail... he still eats and drinks normally. He breaths in deep breaths, but he does that a lot. IT kind of sounds like his nose is clogged. He is a Dachshund dog, and he's a little bit over weight but that's because he's a bigger dog than most of the dachshund dogs.

    Sounds like he is trying to please you while not feeling well. Dachsunds should absolutely not be overweight because of their long body type. I would say take your little dog to the doctor and have him checked out to make sure everything is okay, and most of all, put him on a diet.

    Well he has a bigger body type, His bones are bigger, which makes his body bigger, so when he is scrunched up he looks kind of fat, but if he stretches out he looks normal... We are going to take him to the doctor soon, he seems to be favoring one of

    His front paws. He always has it lifted. What diet would you suggest for a Dachshund? Today I let him out of his cage thing (hes not potty trained so we have him in a thing that 4 ft by 4ft. I think. ) and he went and got the other dogs bone, (he

    Still had his in the cage thing) So I was going to go get Nibbs bone and when I grabbed it and tugged to take it away, he made a little dog scream... like it hurt him. I just got his bone and gave it to Nibbs since he wasn't touching that one. He

    Also refuses to acknowledge us. We say 'Petri' and he just sits and eats his bone... But I know he can hear us, he's usually exited to hear someone call him.
