Hi All,

Yesterday i was driving my puppy with me to work and she was leaning with her head on my forearm as she does quite regularly. I noticed that she was leaning harder and harder on my arm though with her head and neck, which caused me to see if she was ok. I lifted my arm and her head fell limp onto my lap!!! I started to shake her a gently with my other hand, and her whole body was limp as a rag. I started panicing, thinking she was dead and started to shake her a little more aggressively, and after about 10-15 seconds she awoke and readjusted herself to fall asleep.

Has anyone ever had something like this happen? Do yorkies generally pass out when sleeping. I was thinking that she was cutting off the blood circulation by leaning her neck on my arm, causing me to check on her in the first place. All i can think about now is her limp little body and how i think she almost died. She seems fine now. Rambunctious and happy, but i'm so stressed. I don't see anything online about this in dogs.

Anyone?!
