Our first bulldog was electrocuted. She vomitted alot but did not have noticeable burns in or around her mouth. She did go into pulmonary edema which in the end took her life.
I really hope that Armani continues to improve! It is so hard when our furbabies get hurt!

Butts are generally soft (in most areas), and chairs (that Yorkies get on) are usually padded. Brain swelling occurs when the head is travelling at a rate of speed and suddenly is stopped, and the brain crashes into the side, top, or back of the skull. I can't see how a dog, sitting or laying in a chair and getting sat on, how the head would develop enough speed to stop so suddenly within 3-6 inches (distance from dog's head to chair) as to warrant the level of injury seen in this dog. Unless butt was being slam/dunked into the chair, which I guess is a possibility too.

All I'm really trying to say here is: I don't think his injuries are a result of being sat on. And, yes, I may be wrong, am most likely wrong, as I am not a vet, I wasn't there, and I haven't seen the dog, not that I would know what I was looking at if I did see the dog.

I will offer prayers that Armani continues to improve and makes a speedy and complete recovery! I am not a priest nor a minister, so I don't know how well my prayers will work, but I will try anyway. I will offer healing thoughts, oops! I am not a Healer either, and my brain is on the fritz, so thinking is out of the question. Hope??? Yes, I can hope he gets well soon! I think I can safely lay claim to optimism???
