Mad at the Crate maker and sad for my baby! I am so mad I could spit!!:mad: Jazzy was in her crate for 10 minutes this morning, she jumped up and somehow got her tiny paw caught in the wire!!! She was screaming bloody murder. She was hanging!!! Anyway, I took the weight off of her and was holding her trying to get her paw out, what took seconds to get her loose seemed like minutes!! My poor baby. She went right off to running but she was favoring it. I called the vet and he said she will be sore but as long as she is walking and putting weight on it not to be alarmed. She is already better and not favoring it like she was earlier. I think she will be fine. OH...and for those who dont believe in crates...This girl jumps 3 foot dog gates, x pens etc. The other day she jumped up on the bathroom counter. DO NOT ASK me how she managed that one. Now, I keep the bath room door closed. She jumped from the back of the couch onto the kitchen bar!!! So, a crate is something she must have. However, these wire crates are going to the DUMP! I am getting her a pink travel crate. I feel so guilty, but this was a total freak accident!!! I just cant believe it. :( |
Oh no! I am so sorry! I would surely let the crate manufacturer know! That's crazy. Don't blame yourself. You were trying to keep her safe. :( |

Oh...poor baby and I'm sure her screaming scared you to death too! So, glad she is ok now. I hope she doesn't take a dislike to her confinement now though. With your little jumping bean, I can see why you would need a crate, lol. I'm so lucky, Zhoie has never been a jumper nor does she go under anything. She's a wussie, but I guess that's good too. |

She is fearless, and it scares me to death. I worry about leaving her out in the house alone, and now I have to be worried about her crate. Ugh. Really makes me nervous. I got an instant headache this morning! :( |
Oh my goodness poor thing!! :( That would scare me to death too! Yes, the manufacturer definitely needs to do something to prevent that from happening to another dog. I completely understand why you use crates. I am very lucky and none of mine jump out of anything, but you better believe if they did, I would use them! |
Awww....poor Jazzy and you...thank God you were home though! And, glad to know she is going to be okay! I know exactly what you went through, it's scary even if it is just for a few seconds and it does seem like an eternity while it's going on. One of my foster girls jumped up on the side of the ex-pen one day and got her paw stuck, where the sides of the ex-pen come together and are clipped. She yowled in pain, I couldn't get to her fast enough, had to pick her up, hold her weight to take the pressure off, while I got her paw free....she was physically fine, but both of us were shook up for awhile. We took down the ex-pen and trained both the girls to not chase the cat (that's why they were penned when they first came here). But, this taught me a lesson - these containment devices do have dangers you don't normally think about. |
Awe poor Jazzy as well as you. As said before, be happy you were home, imagine what could have happened if you hadn't been home!? oh dear! I usually take Fiona's collar off when she is in the crate, just to be safe. I am a firm believer in using crates, hopefully Jazzy won't been to afraid to go back in her crate.....Don't blame yourself! |
Information about the crate (name, model or type) would be helpful for others that are using crates. I know this was traumatic for you! |
Oh, that's awful. I can totally relate, my dog can climb any get, get around any obstacle. Years ago I gave up and she gets free range of the living room when I am not home. She is pretty good, she will use a pee pad. Only problem is a few times I have come home to her sleeping on the top of the sofa:eek: Not so safe, don't want her to fall and break her leg. |
I'd scream bloody murder too. She must have been so scared. :( Hope she feels better. And you too. :) |
Another option to a crate is the soft sided ex-pen with cover:  Amazon.com: It'z A Breeze Too Soft Sided Exercise... If you already have an ex-pen (sounds like you do), you might want to see if they sell a cover for it. Just trying to give you more options. So sorry poor Jazzy went through that. :( |

I'm glad Jazzy is okay. |
wow, i bet you both were scared to death! those screams are enough to give a mommy a heart attack!:eek: where on the cage did she get her foot stuck? morgan has a similar wire crate and i'm just wondering what part of it is small enough for her to get stuck in? |

if you already have an ex-pen, most of them have covers that fit so that the pups can't jump out. but if your is a wire one i can see why you'd be hesitant to use it again. the pink one you posted would be ideal as long as she can't move it around |
I always worry about little nails getting caught in the soft mesh on those playpens... |
I am so sorry this happened to Jazzy, it must have given both of you such a scare, thank goodness you were there!!! |
I have that one and it is great. I really don't like the reg crates. Bailey is a little jumping bean and she would hit her head everytime she jumped. You will really like the pink x pen. |
I will tell you that if you take this outside make sure that you stake it down. I forgot to do this the first time I ever took it outside and the wind blew it and it blew across the yard. I was so freaked out because Bailey WAS IN IT. I felt like the worst mom in the world. I grab her and she just looked at me like what was that. All I could do was hold her and cry. She was fine but it scared the life out of me. Just talking about it makes me cry again. |

Jazzy is back to herself playing. I keep picking her up to just chill in my lap. lol |

Awe bless your heart. That had to scare you to death. Glad everything was OK. I will be sure to stake it in place. Thank you! |

I got an expen, but when she jumped over it I took it back to pet smart. I have been trying to decide the best thing to by. Sounds like I definitely need one with a cover on top! |
I use an ex-pen and it has a lid that I bought from Petedge.com for dogs that jump or climb. |
