Jake is a long-time friend of ours from LA DOXIES, and today’s post is dedicated to this doxie mix because he had back surgery in December. Back problems in dachshunds are common, but it doesn’t make it any easier when it happens. Jake is an inspiration to me, because from the looks of it, he has made a nearly full recovery. Yesterday was our first play date with Jake since his surgery. Jake gives me hope that should the day come, we just might survive it if we act fast. If you have questions about your dachshund’s back – whether it is preventative or treatment, please visit Dodger’s List website for education. Yahoo Groups for support. Facebook for event news.
