help!my son and gate fell on my puppy! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

snickers mom · 02-15-2006, 06:22 AM

I just got the "real" story a half hour ago... my son fell into our gate that we have up for the puppy when we leave the house and both the gate AND my son landed on the dog...
i had noticed she was real quiet after i came down from my shower and asked the kids what was up but they were really quiet... snickers seems ok but is really quiet and not herself
need some advice please!!!

Watch her closely, does she act like anything hurts? Watch to make sure she eats and drinks,and walks normally, and act like herself, if not, you might wanna get her checked out,, for internal things..

Does the puppy yelp or whine when you touch her like she has a broken bone or anything? Maybe you should take the puppy to the vet just to be safe!

snickers mom · 02-15-2006, 06:39 AM

She doesnt yelp or whine but she was really quiet and didnt "seem right" its kind of hard to say. I'm just not sure what to do i am afraid she got hurt but its hard to tell... has anyone ever had something like this happen? Are there little ones ok?

Hmmm..... i would take her to the vet just so he can check her over.

snickers mom · 02-15-2006, 06:48 AM

i am at work now do you think she will be ok until i get home tonite to take her to the vet or should i leave work? sorry for the questions she is my first puppy...

If it was me, I'd take her ASAP to the vet. I remember a while back a yorkie that died from the same kind of accident. She may just be traumatized and that's why she's quiet, but at the same time, she may have internal injuries that don't appear from the outside. I don't mean to scare you, but she needs to be checked out right away.

LuvMyYorkies · 02-15-2006, 07:17 AM

I agree with Terri ~ she needs to get to the vet right away. You will never forgive yourself if anything happens to her, and I'd rather be safe than sorry. Yorkies are tough little critters, but a gate and a boy are pretty heavy objects to land on a little furbaby.

No dont wait till you get home from work to take her to the vet! You never know what will happen. Better to be safe then sorry!!
Please take her to the vet ASAP and keep us updated.

LIL MIS' MAGIC · 02-15-2006, 07:44 AM

I agree, I would take her to see a vet ASAP...you never know what kind of injury she could have!!! It could be serious or could be nothing at all, but with these little guys you can never be too safe....they can go down so quicky!!!

snickers mom · 02-15-2006, 07:55 AM

Jane · 02-15-2006, 08:01 AM

That can cause damage you can't see and you're doing the right thing by going to the vet asap - keeping good thoughts for your yorkie ....and I hope she's going to be ok....Good luck !!

I'm glad you're taking her in. How big is she and how big is your son. Does he know if she was pinned under him and or the gate. I tmight help to know more details when you go to the vet.
