Scare of my life today
 

This afternoon I had been bathing the babies. Got all bathec but Dudley and decided to sit down and drink a coke. I had just finished Tina (toy schnauzer) and missed her. I called & called and Kayla kept going behind the recliner. I looked back to see a little white foot turned upside down. I got up and Tina was caught under this huge big man's recliner. I couldn't get her out and she began to scream. I tried lifting it and was afraid she was going to die right there. I ran and called my vet which is about 2 or 3 min. away. They sent one of the vet tech down to try to help. Neither one of us could get her out. She was still screaming and bleeding. I told him I was going to call 911 and he said yes to go ahead when all of a sudden he was able to free her. She was covered in blood and we had to wash her to try to see where she was hurt. Her mouth was cut and I was so afraid her jaw was broke but then she recognized Anthony and started to bark. He said she would not be able to bark if it was broke. I still can't drive after surgery so he said watch her and call if we have any problems. She lost a tooth and she bled some from a cut on her mouth just a little while ago. I am so glad and thank God my baby was okay. Please be careful of recliners. I would have not dreamed in a million years that would have happened.

Oh my gosh! How did she get under there?? I'm glad she's ok.

OH LORDY, I'm afraid someone would have to call 911 for me too. What a horrible thing to have happen. I too have one of those oversize recliners, and my Azrael got caught under it just last night. I'm so sorry you baby got hurt under there and I'll bet she won't go under it again. Big hugs to your baby from me.

OMG THANK GOD !!! This is horrible. Thank God your baby was okay.

I am so glad to hear that it worked out like it did.

We have a recliner and I am always telling my husband to wait and let me make sure it is all clear before he puts the leg rest down.

They are nice for us humans but dangerous to our furry babies.

I know it is hard, but I am so glad you shared your story! It is one of my worries with my recliner!

I'm so glad you got her out. I've heard of similar nightmares with recliners. They either get under them - something Kacee did on a regular basis - when they are in the reclining position. Another spot they get is under the front part of the recliner and when people let the recliner down, they are caught under there. So, do be careful of recliners. They can get under some of them from the back. When the chairs are reclined, they can climb under the chair from the front.

Well, Tina is our little 13yr. old baby. She has dementia and can't see to well. She is about the same size as the yorkies. She had got back there and laid down and when I raised the foot support up it got her pinned. I thought I was going to have a heart attack. I was breathing so hard I could hardly talk. When I seen all that blood on the side of her little face I almost went to my knees.

Omg how scary!! I can't imagine. I think I wouldve passed out if I saw one of my babies hung in the recliner. Thats just awful, I am so glad she is okay and I pray she feels better really soon! Lots of yorkie and schnauzer kisses from Remy and Winston coming your way! :aimeeyork

How is she? Is she feeling ok?

She seems to be doing okay except for bleeding awhile ago. She may have just scratched that place on her mouth. We are still going to have her checked out. With the dementia there are times she doesn't know where she is and she just walks through the house and will sometimes stare at a wall. Breaks your heart. I can't stand to think of putting her down. She is eating good and as long as she is not suffering we will have her. To hear her cry and scream in pain like she did this afternoon like to have killed me.

I can imagine how it scared you to hear her screaming, but it's over and she's not too much the worse for it. It will take you awhile to get over that!

So glad to hear your baby is doing okay. Sometimes I think we end up worse then them. Another danger is a regular rocking chair. These wee ones are so fast and so small, things happen before you know it.

that's really awful. i'm so glad she's ok now. praying for speedy healing.

I'm glad ur baby is doing fine... I can imagine how scary that would be... Thx for letting us know, I will keep that in mind w my baby.... Big hug and kisses from Chloe and I for ur baby...
