    My miniture dachshund as of yesterday has lost the use of her front legs.
    Today she also seems to be losing some of the use of her hind legs. Due to financial reasons I can't take her to the vet. Is there anything I can do to help her? She is very special to me and my family. We have had her over 12 years and can't stand seeing her in pain when she tries to walk. Please if you know of anything we are willing to try it.

    Unfortunately, this will take a hands-on examination by an experienced vet to diagnose. Would your vet be willing to work out a payment plan with you?

    There is nothing any of us can tell you. We could all take a guess at what mught be causing this issue. If you have been using the same vet for the past 12 years, they might be willing to work out some sort of payment plan. And I;m going to be a little harsh right now, but if you don't have the money to provide proper medical care for your dog who appears to be suffering, than you need to consider surrendering her to some one who can. Your dog deserves the best you can give her.

    I am sorry for your situation, and I understand what it's like to be in a financial hardships. Are you currently paying for internet? Because that could be one cost you could cut to save money.
