Please be careful when picking up squirmish babies like mine. My friend bent down to pick him up and literally was only standing about half way up and Diezel aggressively jumped out of his hands... The instant cry cut thru me like glass
however he did stop crying once I held him but his arm seemed bent. Tried letting him walk a little and he wasn't acting in any pain, but would not put his paw down and it was very crooked. So in a rush completly hysterical I get to my vet. Turns out a part of his bone shifted downward and knocked his elbow out of the socket. He had a procedure done called a closed reduction. He is in a cast for 2 weeks. Right now he is still groggy and trying to figure out how to use the cast but I am sure tomorrow all hell will break loose.
So please.. I know everyone talks about how you have to be careful holding these tiny babies. And I am usually a hawk! Just be extra careful. From now on my #1 rule of the house is no holding the puppy unless you are sitting down!!!
