Broken leg? - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I think Izzy may have a broken leg.

Last night my 5 year old was playing with Cody and Izzy was in bed with me (I was reading a book) and she wanted to get down to play with them.

Well I put her down and she took off running around the corner and my son didn't know she was coming and he stepped on her. OMG she cried and cried and cried. My son cried and cried, I cried and cried. It was horrible.

I took her outside to see if she could walk on it after she calmed down and she just laid there. It was about 9 last night and it was time for bed anyway so I put her in her kennel (my husband thought maybe it would just be spranged and she may be better this morning). Well this morning I got her out of her kennel and took her outside and she still can't walk.

The vet called me first thing this morning (I left a frantic message for them last night) and I took her in. They are going to sedate her to xray her leg. So I had to drop her off. I am so worried about her.

Has anyone else ever had their baby get a broken leg? I am so worried she will never be the same again.

oh no !! That does sound broken and I hope they can fix it with little discomfort and she'll be ok....SENDING GET WELL WISHES and I'm sorry she's so hurt poor baby

milomlo · 06-04-2007, 07:22 AM

update!

Vet just called her leg is broken. She has 2 bones that are broken.
Vet says either I can cast it or surgery to put a plate in it. $1500 -$2000,
I can't afford that. OMG am I horrible? I want it fixed but I can't afford that for her.
OMG I am just crying I don't know what to do. Anyone else had this experiance? What should I do?

See if your vet will let you open a Care Credit account. I had to do this when my Westie was being treated for cancer at Cornell. It saved the day for me.

Good Luck!!

aww sorry to hear about that..i can only imagine the pain she, your son and you were feeling...

yorkiemalt · 06-04-2007, 07:34 AM

oh poor Izzy....can't imagine how painful that is. In my mind, you have no choice but to find a way to pay for the surgery.

Opening up a care credit account is one option if your Vet won't allow a payment plan on his own. Any other credit card you can put it on?

diva pup · 06-04-2007, 07:42 AM

I am sure I am just stating the obvious but she needs her leg fixed

I do not see any OTHER options surely you have a credit card? Or can get a loan? poor little baby, I hope you find help soon.

milomlo · 06-04-2007, 07:56 AM

I spoke to the vet again. She said that Izzy has a very good chance for a full recovery without the surgery if we keep her from jumping around. I will go in every two weeks and they will check it and put another cast on it each time.

Please keep her in your prayers. They will be putting her cast on this afternoon.

ARCHIE · 06-04-2007, 08:01 AM

What a tragic accident. Hope the cast works and Izzy is better soon.

Rhapsody · 06-04-2007, 08:18 AM

Poor Issy.

I hope the cast works. Keep us updated on the poor darling.

diggy4 · 06-04-2007, 08:20 AM

I feel bad for your furbaby, but your son must be HORRIFIED!!!! He is probably feeling so darn guilty....Poor thing. I know if I even bump on of my dogs or anything I feel so bad...I cannot imagine what he is feeling or what he will feel when he sees her in a lil cast...She will be fine had a cat with same situation and chose casting being he was 13 and I did not want him to go under anesthetic (sp?) he had to be casted a lil longer than anticipated but a 100% recovery!!

Please give them both a big ole kiss and hug from Bella and Diggy!!!!!

ellie81 · 06-04-2007, 08:22 AM

oh no, im'so sorry to hear this. I hope she gets well soon and I hope she gets used to the cast so she can heal soon!!! I'll pray for your baby's recovery and for your finances. At least you don't have to pay for the surgery right now.

Stella's mom · 06-04-2007, 08:29 AM

I am so sorry about Izzy's leg. I"m sure your son probably feels terrible about this accident so give him a big hug from Stella and me. Sending good wishes to Izzy for a speedy recovery

chachi · 06-04-2007, 08:35 AM

Prayers and good thoughts for Izzy

milomlo · 06-04-2007, 09:15 AM

Thank you all for your kind responses. I really appreciate all your thoughts and prayers.

Yes my son is devistated. He is so upset all he keeps saying is "I knew we shouldn't have gotten her" and "It's all my fault." He feels absolutely horrible. I just hope he doesn't get even more upset when he sees her cast.

I pray that this cast does give her 100% full recovery. We will just all have to try and keep her still (as much as you can with a 6 month old puppy).
