One spinal problem Dachshunds are especially prone to is called disc disease. Disc disease is most likely to occur if you let your Dachshund jump on and off of the furniture all the time. This happens because the discs in their spinal column degenerate, and causes them pain.

When is a dachshund sick?
Well, some dachshunds get seizures, but this problem can be taken care of with TLC and medicine. Also, dachshunds often suffer spinal problems due to their long backs, but this can easily be avoided. Use a harness when walking your dachshunds, NEVER hit them, don't allow them to jump from high places(ie. the bed, the couch) and your dachshund will probably never have back problems! They are a pretty healthy breed despite these problems if properly taken care of.
