So Very Fragile! I was taking the dogs outside and as I opened the door, my two older dogs Candy (small Jack Russell) and Ben (male yorkie) must have seen or heard something as they sped off at sonic speed. As they did, they overran poor Annie, my new pup. She yelped and has been limping since. I have felt along the leg and she does not yelp when I gently push along it. But, if she is still limping by morning, she is off to the vet. Just goes to show how very delicate and fragile these little ones are. Candy and Ben have been extra gentle with her when playing, but as they got excited they completely forgot she was even there. I am not even sure which one hurt her -- it just happened in a flash. They both brushed past her but she didn't get trompled or anything. It doesn't take much with these little ones, though. Tiny little bones and tendons. I sure hope she is okay and nothing broken or hurt badly. She is the sweetest thing. Very much loves to be babied while she is hurting. It is the cutest thing. She just nuzzles me and looks pathetic. But open the treat bag and she can run on 3 legs pretty fast! |
Awww. Just baby her all you can! Poor baby; it was an accident. I hope she is ok in the morning. |
I'm glad your Annie is o.k. That's why I have been so worried about my little Peanut. My girls are twice his weight and I get nervous when they play. |
It's so scarey how fast things can happen! Hope she's feeling better as time goes on, but I'm sure she'll just love all the attention!:aimeeyork |
I totally know what you mean! Khloe got hurt once, and it scared me to death... She was in my arms and almost on the way to the emergency vet before I decided to set her down to see if she could walk. Thankfully, she was fine... but geesh, they sure can scare you! :( |
Deb, How is Annie today? I just hope everything is ok. Just goes to show you that anything can happen no matter how careful you are. |
Deb, hope she's feeling better this morning. Keep is posted |
Poor widdle Annie! I sure hope she's feeling better this morning. Give her some huggins for me. Bonny |
How is Annie this morning? |
That happened once with my little girl shes tiny, and my male keno (a yr old) must have been playing a little to rough because she started limping, i watched her closely and by the end of the night she was running around as usual, just keep a close eye on her! |
We had an awful accident once, one little girl fell and burst open her stomach and passed:(another boy broke his leg and now only has 3, but he got adopted and has a very good home and I am happy about that, another boy something happened to, and he got very poor circulation and died. It was a very very sad time, and proves once again that these little babies are very fragile and shall be handled like a most precious treasure... |
I am sorry I have not updated this thread! I almost forgot I had already posted this! Annie is still limping a little on and off but has improved so much, I kept her with me. She has an appointment tomorrow for her last puppy shots and I will have him take a look. But right now, I think she is going to be fine. She is putting her weight (all 2 pounds of it) on it here and there, so I see so much improvement I think she will heal fine without intervention. She is even going up and down her little puppy steps today, where last night she just looked at me, like "help!" She shows no pain when I gently press up and down from toe to hip. Nails look good, joints move without any discomfort. I will ask the vet about possible disk injury. That is what happend to my Jack Russell. She limped from time to time and we xrayed her whole body when she was in for dental. The leg and hip were perfect, no arthritis or anything, but he noticed two vertebraes too close together in the neck area. He said it wsa probably and old injury and when she is over-active, it gets inflammed causing her to limp. Don't want to have ot xray Annie, but I will see if he thinks it possible. Don't you just love puppies! I can't tell you what she does for me. She is just so sweet, so loving! Even hurting last night, she just was the sweetest thing ever! |

Just now seeing this thread.... So glad little Annie's doing better... They can easily get lost in the excitement of the older dogs. |
Yay for Annie! Great news! |
She was still favoring the foot this morning when she went for boosters. So we did an xray to be sure -- nothing broken! Great news! I probably did not need to get the xray but feel better knowing nothing is broke. Doc said he could feel everything well except in the paw, so now we know that is good too. He did give some Moxicam (anti-inflammatory) to help with any pain. He gave her a double for today and one for the next 4 days if she needs it. Now I can relax a little but still try to keep the other two dogs away from her. They do not understand that! I'll get them all up in my lap together for a nap later. That will make everyone happy. :) |
Are you crate resting her or is she playing and acting normally. It took my Max about 3 weeks to completely heal from a limp. The x-rays showed nothing abnormal. The first 2 weeks i wasn't very strict with crate rest, but as soon as I was he healed much quicker. He just started limping again yesterday on another foot. He had a full day of crate rest and this morning is fine. I would try to limit all activity. Poor baby. Yes, they are so fragile, even at 10 pounds. |
Scooter got stepped on yesterday, his paw, and he yelped and yelped...I picked him up and checked him all out and then I waited to see if he would walk on it and he wouldnt so I thought, here we go, off to the vet, as I am getting ready to go to the vet the cat comes upstairs and off he went after her. No limping at all. I think he just wanted me to baby him a little bit more. I love this little guy |

Thanks for all the good words from everyone! |
I know it's going to be hard to keep her quiet. When Scarlett hurt her leg a couple weeks back while playing with Rhett, keeping her from reinjuring herself became a full time job. Poor things don't understand that they need to rest to get better. I definitely second the crate idea- though she's going to try and break your heart with the forlorn looks. |
Also keep in mind that the muscle relaxer will make her feel less pain. If she doesn't feel pain she will play normally. It was when the muscle relaxer was stopped (after about 10 days) that Max didn't really feel like playing because he realized he was hurt. I bet a day or two she'll be just fine. Give her some good chews and lots of love. |

Rhett's Mom -- It sounds like you know my Annie -- she can certainly give the forlorn looks when she is not getting her way! Crating her is not to her liking either. She had to go in there when I ran over to my mom & dad's this evening, but other than that, I have mostly toted her from room to room with me. She's on my lap now. Thanks everyone for the good wishes for Annie. I will keep the thread updated. Hopefully it will only be a short term problem! |
I'm really glad that Annie is doing better. I have a fear that my two 50 lb bassets are going to squash Zach who is just 5 lbs now. They play so rough but it seems like my Basset Hounds are always the ones crying because Zach bites their ears. Yet when they all run ouside togethe Zach is always in the middle of them along with Zoe my Shorkie. So far so good. |
