I've heard that one of the side affects from Frontline Flea and Tck Repelant will teporarily paralyze a dog, Written in very small print on the box. No Vet will say anthing about it but I have heard it happened.

I was thinking about that too, lots of stories about this on the Internet. Here is one page, incidentally mentioning Dachshund [link to www.biospotvictims.org]

On the other hand, paralysis is also one of the symptoms from some tick-borne diseases as well, as mentioned by previous posters...

I've also read somewhere that some breeds (i.e Dachshund) is prone to spine injuries so that is another unfortunate possibility I'm afraid. Some kind of trauma could have happened during the day before and giving symptoms later.

Good that you took your dog to the vet right away, hope the treatment works!

Good luck!
