In October of 2009, Dandy lost complete mobility due to a disc herniation, a life-threatening condition that required immediate surgery. She suffered IVDD, intervertebral disk disease, commonly known to afflict the dachshund breed. Thanks to the crew at the Center for Veterinary Specialty Care in Carrollton, Dandy escaped death (or sure paralysis) and got back on the road to recovery, eventually regaining mobility in her back legs. While she is not as graceful as she was in her youth, Dandy celebrates her 6th birthday this week (January 27th to be exact), oblivious of her narrow brush with death and behaving as if the world owes her a buffet.
