|  Mia is hurt Mia was chasing a squirrel in our yard and ran right into the fence. She let out a big yelp and I ran out to get her. When I did she seemed okay but now she is really favoring her right paw. She can walk now but it looks like she is holding it up. IF I touch it she does not cry or anything but she definitely looks like she hurt it as she will not walk on it like normal...she is just limping to me. I assume if she broke it she would really be crying...I don't know what to do. Do you think I should take her to the ER or just watch it???  Can I give her anything for pain or do you think I shuld just leave her alone??

| Donating Senior Yorkie Talker  | I would just watch it for a few days. I have had that type of thing happen ofter. Yorkies jumping off a table, skidding accross the floor, even falling out of bed. They limp for a few days and then they are OK.

Oh poor Mia and poor you! Caren I don't know the right thing to do but since she doesn't seem to be in any pain, I would just watch her. You're already into emergency vet hours anyway so I can't see how waiting a little could hurt. I don't remember if I posted or told you about it at the time, it was so long ago but I had a patio chair break and fall on Spike (with my grandma in it) when he was younger. He was limping really bad. I rushed him into the vet and they did exrays. He was completely fine. I think it's like when we stub our toe we might limp a little for a while. I wish I was more help. Hugs to you and Mia.

| Sorry your baby got hurt. It is terrifiying isn't it? Never know when to run to the vet or when to sit tight and wait. Wish they could talk.

| OKAY Update Okay so I THINK I am going to just watch it for the night but I may take her in to the VET tomorrow morning. She is really limping now on that little leg. EEEKKKK...I just know my sisters dog had a broken paw and we did not know it was broken till we took him in a day later. I can not stand the thought she may have broken her little paw. I mean it does not feel like it but I can tell she is NOT happy or comfortable for that matter.

| If you have johnson's baby aspirin...you can give her one of those. Honestly I'd just keep an eye on her and see how it is a couple of hours from now. No more squirrel huntin'. That is Ramsey's obsession...waiting and watching...for just one squirrel. I hope she feels better soon...

| Thought of something else...dogs have a high tolerance to pain...which is why they do not necessarily cry when you touch something sore.

| Call me if you just want some verbal assurance or just to chat. Is Chris home? I know how scarey it is but I think you're making the right decision. Hugs!

Ramsey will not play with Reese or Reggie...nor toys...she must...and I mean must command her post and WATCH for a lone squirrel intruder. I think the squirrel even knows when she is home and when she is not....I haven't seen him in a 4 days. Doesn't stop her....she is a dedicated squirrel hunter.

| Hope Mia is ok. I know when one of mine has hurt their leg or paw and I took them to the vet by the time we got to the vet they were so excited and walked perfectly fine. Hope it's just a little sore and some rest will make it better.

| Donating YT 500 Club Member  | Poor little punkin! Do you have an icepack? If so, I would sit with her and let her lay with the leg on it. That would help with any swelling and maybe a little with the pain. Good luck! Keep us posted. |

| Well her little leg has actually gotten worse. Now she is whining and really limping even more. I think I am definately taking her to the vet in the AM. I really hope her little paw is not broken. I will feel like the worlds worst mommy.
