Am so sorry, we went through the same thing 2 years ago and cancelled our vacation to New Mexico when the beagle came down with hemorrhagic gastroenteritis - even though he recovered after a horrible scare there was no way I was leaving "family" at a veterinarian clinic or in a kennel, there would have been no fun at all sick with worry!

Am so very sorry the dachshund isn't well, they are such little characters and have such a way of lodging themselves in your heart! You and the family take care of yourselves, there will eventually be brighter days ahead..
