He had a full day of crate rest and this morning is fine. I would try to limit all activity. Poor baby. Yes, they are so fragile, even at 10 pounds.
I think that is good advice. I was not putting her in the crate, but I think I need to since the bigger dogs seemed to hurt her again this morning. She wants to play. She runs pretty good on 3 legs! But I have been keeping her with me today since they hurt her again, either on my lap or right now, on my foot. But I think when I get off here and go start cleaning up for tonight's company, I will put her in her crate so she doesn't get into any more trouble. Thanks! Good idea and I'll bet if I do this for a day or two, she will lose that limp in no time. Sure hope so anyway! Hopefully it is just a bruise. Poor baby girl. I sure don't mind spoiling her a little extra.

Thanks for all the good words from everyone!
