My dachshunds back legs have more or less stopped working. She was waiting in the car perfectly happy, I came back five minutes later and she was just sitting sad. She hasn’t been able to walk on her own fully since.

If she cannot use her hind legs at all, she needs to be seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Given her breed, it is possible she sustained a disc injury or other spinal injury that has resulted in partial or complete paralysis. In these cases, the sooner treatment is administered or surgery performed, the greater her chances are for a complete recovery.
