| HELP!! Joey is in ICU - accident :( Oh my god - my fiance and I are so upset. Last night my fiance was playing with Joey (our 12 week Yorkie whom we've had for 4 days) and Joey was running behind him. Joey ran between my fiance's legs and my fiance tripped and steppedl on him. Joey didn't make a sound, but immedietely went limp. He was barely breathing. We rushed to the animal hospital, where we waited for three hours. Joey is stable on oxygen, but he has pulmonary lung contusions and some swelling in his brain. The vet is saying that Joey needs time - it is hard to tell whether he is going to pull through this or not. He says that dogs have pulled through this in the past, but of course there are dogs that haven't. We feel like we have our mother or father in ICU right now - we are just grieving so hard and don't know what to do. All we do is wait for the next phone call from the vet. We may have to put him to sleep, but it is just too early to tell - has anyone gone through this??? Do you know of any positive incidents where the puppy pulled through and survived? We just really need support and optimism right now. Thank you all. Keep Joey in your prayers. |

| I don't have any experience with this type of accident, but I have had experience with the emergency vets. Know that they are very talented and dedicated and they will do absolutly everything possible. Your baby is getting as good of care as a human would in ICU. Yorkies are tough little fighters, so think positive! You are in our prayers. Please keep us updated.

| I am so sorry this happened,I cannot imagine what you are going thru right now but accidents do happen, this same thing happened to my friends puppy years ago, she just stepped backwards on top of her. They are so quick to get underfoot. I am sending good thoughts and prayers your way that Joey will pull thru. They are amazingly resilient these little yorkies. |

| You all are in my prayers. I always say a special prayer to St. Francis when I hear or see anything bad regarding animals. He is the patron Saint of animals. Whether or not you believe: ask for the life, health, healing, and protection of your little Joey. Invision him healthy, happy, loved, and playing. Keep that image in your mind and heart. This prayer/meditation has always worked for me. I am saying it now. Good Luck. Jen PS. I have heard that it is helpful to send "blue light" to the places where one needs healing. Try it. Heck, let's all send blue healing energy to Joey. |

| How dreadful for you - this is everyone's dread.... the little ones haven't yet learnt to move out of the way. I really hope he will be ok, if the vet said he needed time then maybe he will be ok? I DO hope so, hugs to him and to you too. Ana xx |
