Just call the vet and tell him or her what you told us. In the
meantime, keep your dachsie quiet and in a confined space so he can't
move much. Be extremely careful lifting him so you don't stress his
back at all.
My own dachsie had an accident---fell down the outside stairs---and
literally started screaming. My mom quickly called me to come home
from work, and then sat with my dachsie on the stairs, holding her
still so she didn't hurt herself any further (my mom was in her 80s at
the time and couldn't lift a standard dachsie who weighed 22 pounds).
I carefully picked her up and we rushed to the vet. Turns out she had
severely sprained a ligament in her hind leg---the equivalent of a
human suffering an ACL injury. She was put on anti-inflammatories and
pain relief and we kept her quiet for several weeks. It gradually
healed and she was fine afterwards.
Let us know what the vet says.

> i really need advice please. Today my 4 year old Dachshund Butkus started yelp very loudly. I don;t know what happen but here what i can tell you, When i came home from my doctor checkup i was home alone doing my homework when my dog was yelping in pain. When i went to go check on him he started to limp. I went to go tell my grandmother and she checked him out. He seemed fine after a while and then it started up again. Were thinking its either his back, foot, leg. Please i really need advice because he is my first dog and i need to know what to tell my vet Please :(
