Ok...so Bubba today decided he wanted to get Tyke...Tyke will usually jump on top of this couch we have (Bubba won't jump on it) and stay up there because I guess he knows Bubba can't reach it. Anyway...Bubba was chasing Tyke so Tyke tried to jump on the couch...he missed it and somehow landed on his back two legs...and really hurt the one back leg. He started to squeal like I had NEVER heard him squeal before...and was crying for a while. He then tried to walk...and he could put no weight whatsoever on his back left leg
He hobbled around on three legs. His one leg he hurt seems to be bent...like he can't straighten it out. I immediately burst into tears because I had no clue what was going on. I jumped up and called the vet...luckily I had caught them just as they were leaving and I have an appointment to take Tyke in at 2 (I just had Bubba in today for his puppy wellness checkup) to see what can be done. The lady that answered the phone told me that it sounds like he might've dislocated his leg and that all small breeds have that problem...but I don't know if she was telling that to calm me down (I was a WRECK!) or if it's the truth. I feel terrible now because we had to keep Bubba in his little crate (luckily he likes it) because he kept trying to go after Tyke and Tyke is hurt...so I put Bubba in his crate with a bunch of toys to keep him busy and he was fine...but I HATE having to keep in his crate like that! As for Tyke...right now we're trying to carry him everywhere but he whines whenever we pick him up, hold him wrong...he tried to lay down and he cried...it's tearing me apart. Is there anything we can do for him to make him comfortable until he goes to the vet? Can I have him childrens' tylenol or anything? It's terrible. I hate seeing my little boy like this
I know it seems like I'm always posting here (tyke and bubba not getting along, bubba getting sick)...I'm just so scared and completely beside myself right now worried about my Tykie
Sorry for yet another post :-(
