| 2 Broken legs? We just came home to find our Yorkie had jumped off our 2nd floor balcony onto rocks and we found him on his back clearly badly injured, but alive. It looks like maybe 2 legs are broken but all the Vet's are closed. We're laying him down and giving him plenty of love and attention but aren't sure if there's anything else we can do till the morning? We want to help him so bad but don't know what else can be done? Any suggestions are welcomed. Thank you. |

| Most vets have an emergency number...CALL THEM. The dog could have internal injuries and may not make it till morning. |

| Look in you yellow pages NOW! There are emergency vets! He could be in shock with serious internal injuries. Give him nutracal. Feel his gums to see if they are cold. If you don't have nutracal, you might give him sugar water, karo syrup or honey.

Phantom Queen Morrigan Donating Member | I"m sure there has to be a 24/7 emergency vet in LA. Please call right away. Your regular vet should have an emergency number on their answering machine. Your pup could have serious internal injuries from falling that far and might not be alive in the morning. He needs to be see ASAP. please do everything you can to get him to an ER. Also do not move him around too much or let him move on his own. you do not want to aggravate any injuries. I pray your baby is ok.

| Here's a website that all you have to do is plug in your zip code and you'll find an ER near you. LocalVets.com He may have internal injuries....he needs to see a vet now. Do a google search.....a multitude of ER vets in the LA area.
