We never let our small dogs outside without supervision. Our basset hounds go out but we watch them from the doorway. My dogs had an accident a couple of years ago when my yorkie Zach and my Shorkie Zoe were playing and somehow Zoe's tooth got caught in Zachs collar. Thank God we were outside with them because Zach passed out and we thought he was dead. We cut the collar loose and laid him on the table. We thought he was dead he wasn't moving and his eyes were rolled back in his head. When I picked him up he started coming out of it. We rushed him to the 24 emergency by the time he got there he was almost back to normal. We had him checked out and there was no permanent damage. Now none of our dogs wear collars in the house or in the backyard. |
