The abdominal pain and inability to jump may be a sign of spinal cord trouble. Seeing that Scruffy is is a dachshund, there is always a possibility that he has a slipped disk (Inter vertebral Disk Disease). This is very serious and time is of the essence. Please take Scruffy to a vet or Pet ER now. The longer you wait the worse the condition may get. This is also very painful. He could also have a serious tummy ache, which would need to be ruled out.
