Lexi jumped up at me & fell backward! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

And I guess she hit her head on the floor! She was all excited because I was getting her a treat, I don't know if one of my other 2 yorkies ran into her beacuse they all come running but she fell over onto her side and couldn't get up so I yelled for my husband who came in and picked her up and said she was breathing & alert and she was wimpering but she seems ok but she laying on his lap. Do you think she just stunned herself? I know she can move her head and walk but she scared the daylight out of me so of course I ran right here for advice!!

My Mom watched Sadie for me when I was working...she was probably about 12 wks old when she jumped out of my Mom's arms and landed on her side on the floor!! My Mom picked her right up and Sadie started to whimper..she walked around with her and watched her all day...she did play and eat fine...Maybe she just got the wind out of herself..but it was awfully scary for her....and worse on my Mom!

Oh poor baby! I would watch her like you mentioned and see if she doesn't perk up you may want to call the vet.

She is just 3.5lbs and 2 1/2 years old and she has been jumping higher & higher & she jumps really hard at me as to push me and she kind of bounced off my leg I guess or else Tia or Max who both weigh 6 & 7lbs might have knocked her back legs out from under her but she seems ok but my stomach is killing me because I got so scared when I saw her laying there and unable to get up!

Oh gosh, I hope she's alright! They get sooo excited and they're soo cute, but sometimes it's scary. One day, I was walking back into the living room from the bedroom and Miko had jumped on the back of the couch. Well, he got so excited when he saw me that he fell off the couch. He scared me soo much, but thank God he was okay. Like you said, just keep your eye on her and if her behavior changes or you see something out of the ordinary, you might take her to the vet.

Piper did this the other day. I heard her head hit. Then she wanted to nap, but I wouldn't let her incase she had a concusion. She turned out fine, & still jumping. Just watch her for any changes.
