My baby's in a cast - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Cherry · 04-22-2006, 02:05 PM

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!!!

Thanks everyone.. I always was careful watching people hold him and he is so comfortable with my one friend.. so for him to fight was wierd! But then again no one grasp is as tight as mommys!

Hope he gets well soon!!

Cherry · 04-22-2006, 10:54 PM

Thanks again everyone. He is still like a piece of mush right now we have been sleeping all night. He can get down his little steps but getting up them is a little hard. He will lose his balance after many attempts. I think I will have to give him a hand until he is a little more comfy. I still am in shock that this happened. Just goes to show you that you cannot be to careful.

But on a lighter note I think the lil cast gives him character.. it's quite cute
