I'm sorry to hear about Missy

I hope she feels better soon.

Hope she is feeling better soon. Don't beat yourself up--accidents happen.

If it is positioning and the pain involved, your vet may be absolutely correct about using anesthesia. If you trust him, I'd go for it. If not, I'd get a second opinion.

awww your Poor Missy!!! So sorry to hear she got hurt!

You are not a bad mommy...don't blame yourself!! My little tiny Tulip tries very hard to jump out of my arms...and she's been successful now and then.. Things happen.. But you reacted perfectly!! Taking her to see a Vet!!

Hopefully its not serious!! At least she'll rest comfortably on the pain meds!!

Keep us posted!!!

Poor little munch. I hope things get healed quickly and she's back to running around. Big hug to her from me.

***I'm not sure how she's going to go to the bathroom though. It might be tricky.****

This may sound strange but maybe u could cut apeice of bubble wrap the length of her leg and wrap it around the leg and tape it on for support ...just an idea we have used ...of course u have to watch they do not chew it off.. HOPE she will be okay

If she doesn't seem better by the morning, I will be taking her to my regular vet for an xray, regardless of if she will need anaesthetic or not. I won't let her suffer or prolong it at all. I personally don't think it's broken or fractured, and neither did the vet. He examined her thoroughly. The thing is, you really can't tell for sure unless you get that xray done. Unless of course she's using it by tomorrow, which I'm really hoping for!

Poor Lil Missy (and Shaunna too!) I hope she's better by morning so she doesn't have to go back to the vet.
Curly Mac jumped right out of my arms and landed on a hard wood floor a couple weeks ago. She cried and cried for a good 15 minutes...and I mean real live tears! I held her close and she snuggled into my hair and then she was ok but she scared the bejeezers outta me! I was so glad nothing was broken and that she walked fine after that.
I'm sure your lil Missy will be ok too, just love on her tonight and hopefully all will be well in the morning.
xo,
Shan and Curly Mac

Oh Shauna I'm so sorry, I know how sad you must be feeling. I am sorry I hadn't responded sooner, we were doing the whole SuperBowl thing and I just got home and saw this .. I had to look twice at the title and name that posted it, since I know how careful you are with Missy.

It will be okay, she probably tore a ligament or sprained it a bit ... I remember when Gucci hurt his leg and how scared I was he was yelping and crying like NO TOMORROW and when I put him down it would fold under and he would immediately fall over and cry

. The vet did the same for us and said it was likely just a soft tissue injury and it would heal on it's own. He was on bed rest for a full week and he was so sad that he couldn't come out and play.. even though he was using it mid-week he wasn't allowed to, otherwise the vet said he could make it worse and end up having to get surgery etc. It was a tough week but I was so happy when he was finally better and able to use it.

You will see, Missy will be Ok she will bounce back and by tomorrow will be so much better. Please send her get well wishes and hugs and loves from Gucci and I!! You are such a good mommy, she is lucky to have you.

How is Missy today? We're sending her get well prayers and hugs!

manolos mom · 02-02-2009, 05:47 AM

Is Missy doing better today? Keep us posted on what your vet says...

JoeyP · 02-02-2009, 06:32 AM

Accidents do happen but you did exactly what you needed to do in that you rushed her right to the Vet
Whether it's broken or sprained she will heal
But blameing yourself isn't going to make her get better any sooner

I remember years ago our family had a little pug
and my mother opened the patio door for her to go out
and she hesitated and the last minute made a mad dash for the door
My mom thought she wasn't going out and went to close the door just as she went to go through
and hit her head
Pug dogs have a terrible problem in that their eyes can pop out of their sockets if hit on the side
I woke up to my mother screaming in the kitchen
and ran down the stairs to see
our dog with her eye almost hanging off her face
Quickly I ran with a cold towel and put pressure there and literally sped to the vets office
By the time we got there it was back in the socket
But this type of thing goes to show you always get them to where they need to go as soon as possible

Ohh, I hope little Missy is feeling better today! Don't feel too bad, accidents happen! Take care!

LilMissy · 02-02-2009, 08:36 AM

Thanks everyone for your posts.

Missy's got some spunk back today, and she will let me touch her leg, massage it a little, and move it very gently. She moves it around on her own but still isn't stepping down on it. I am going to drop my son off at school and then call my regular vet. I'm thinking that they will likely want to have her in for an xray today. I will update again when I have more news. I really appreciate all of your support and advice. YT is the best. I don't know what I'd do without you all.

YorkichonBella · 02-02-2009, 09:03 AM

Checking back in on Missy & so glad to see yr update! It sounds like it's getting a little better. Hope all goes well today!!
