I picked up my beautiful baby Yorkie yesterday, he is 4 months old and a real beauty. We brought him home and he seemed happy and content, all was well. Reese is his name <3
Just before bed time, he was sitting on the sofa with me, I turned round to pick something up and 2 seconds later I heard a yelp. Turned to see he had fallen off. 4 hours I had my baby at this point!
Brought him to Out of hours emergency vet who gave him pain relief and stabalised it then brought him to our normal vets this morning.
Just got a call from the vet and he has broken it in 2 places on either side of the wrist joint. I am beside myself with guilt.
The vet wants to splint it and not operate as he feels Reese is too young and the bones would not do well in the metal rods. He believes there is a good chance of it completely healing if put in a splint and he rests most of the time for 4-6 weeks. He also say we must keep it completely dry.
My question is, does this sound like the right course of action for a 4 month old pup?
How do I keep it dry if he has to be kept in his crate and he is not yet toilet trained?
I feel so terribly guilty and want to do everything I can to make him better!
Help me
