I added a new little Yorkie to our family about 5 weeks ago and of course we are completely in love with the sweet little thing. I took both my 2 year old Yorkie Louie and the new addition to the vet today. She finished up her shots and all was good. She weighs 18 ounces at 13 weeks old. We left the vet and went on to Petsmart for supplies and I had Louie on a leash and put the baby girl in the cart with a little blanket. While leaving the parking lot, she jumped from the blanket in my arms and hit the
[COLOR=green !important][COLOR=green !important]concrete[/COLOR][/COLOR] curb. Immediately she started to have seizures and wasn't responsive. I was screaming and crying and just scooped her up and put her in the car and rushed to the animal hospital. Truthfully I thought she died a couple of times and she was out cold. Seizures kept happening on the way and it is a miracle that I made it to the hospital without wrecking the car. The vet tried and tried AND TRIED to get an IV into her but couldn't because she is just so petite. She has a very very serious concussion and is not able to stand. They are treating her with steroids and just giving fluids through a shot to keep her hydrated. The next few days are critical for our sweet Khloe Kate and I am terrified each time the phone rings. Please pray for our baby girl to beat this because I love her so dearly. The guilt I have is beyond anything I have ever felt and I have cried for hours. I'm worried that we should have just put her down so she wouldn't suffer but the what if's are keeping me from it. She is one spunky and loving little thing so she is probably a fighter too. Hold your tiny babies' tight and be thankful that they are healthy. I so wish to hold that little thing right now and take her pain from her.
Has anyone here had experience with a concussion on a young pup with favorable outcome? If this was your baby would you let them try everything to save her or just put her out of her obvious misery? I'm at a loss on what to do. I don't want to be selfish and cause her to suffer.
Here is a picture of our sweet little thing.
