my little guy toby has been through so much lately. he plays pretty hard with my cat. one morning, we heard him yelp..the rest of the day he was lathargic, and would just crawl into the corner or crate. he seemed totally uncomfortable. we decided to take him to the vet. turns out he had some sort of a slipped disk in his spine. the vet also told us that yorkies knee caps can also be very loose..a result of their small breed. they put him on steroids and complete crate rest for 2 weeks. he was fine after a week and a half, but then started getting diarhea from the steriods. he's totally back to normal now, and i try not to let him play too hard with the cat from now on.

glad your little one is ok.. it can be so scary when you don't know what's going on.
