Our dachshund, Cinnamon, will be sixteen years old next month (March 2012). She has cataracts in both eyes so she can only see shadows. She is very hard of hearing; in fact, you have to yell really loud for her to hear you. She seems very healthy otherwise…running and playing like a puppy. She has lost most of her teeth (had eighteen pulled recently) and her head is completely gray along with all four of her legs and tail. She drinks a LOT of water and has to “go” frequently. Sometimes, she seems to be lethargic and forgets where she is. We love her and will greatly miss her when her time comes, but until that time, we are enjoying her every day!

Nita, stay on top of the heart murmur. The wheezing is part of that. He may need to be on a diuretic (Lasix, not expensive). They can fill up with excess fluid that makes the heart work even harder.

My dog died 1 moth before he turned 8 :/ it was so unexpected…. he had a little spine problem, but he was ok after treatment… after few days I wake up and hear heavy breathing … I understood that this is the end… I took him imideately to the vet, but it was too late :/ No one has any idea what was wrong with him….. he was in perfect shape and i treated him like a little king I really miss him ……

My dachshund picked me when I went to pick out one, she is 18 people years old and still in pretty good shape, we did lose her husband, yes we married them, to a brain tumor, he was 17 years old, I really do miss my shadowman and he is missed by the whole family, even his wife Kara misses him.

My doxie is a rescue, I’ve had him since 2000 and he came in at the age of 2 and I wouldn’t give him up for anything. He had biting problems when he first came in, but after some retraining and a lot of love he gets along well with all, except maybe hamsters and other small furry things, he still has the hunt in him. He is black and tan, but now his muzzle is almost completely white, as well as his paws. He is hard of hearing (or maybe it’s selective), and cataracts in both eyes, but still tries to run with the big dogs. His teeth are in really bad shape, and because of this his breath is outrageous, but I haven’t been able to find a vet yet willing to work with me on this, so we do the best we can.
