Maggie is 10 months old and we had our first emergency (my first emergency with ANY dog EVER). She had a little fall and broke both bones in her little leg. She is ok...but of course it happened at 4:30pm on a Saturday (the vet opened the latest around here closed at 4pm), so we had to go to the ER vet. but they took great care of her and if you didn't see the little cast, you wouldn't know anything ever happened
i do understand being paranoid..you have good reason to be

these babies are so sweet...but can get hurt so easy
