| 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!

| 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? |

| 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.

| 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.

Yorkie Lover Donating Member | 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!!!

Donating YT 30K Club Member | 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.
