I know what it feels like when your baby is in pain. Annabelle and her puppies will be in my prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear Annabelle was attacked. I know firsthand how terrifying it is to watch your lil girl be attacked by anything. I sure hope she comes through this as well as those babies. I worry about what kind of emotional scars these big dogs leave on the lil ones. Frankie & I will be thinking & praying for you.

You know, I am new to Yorkies and just got my first one yesterday. What happened to Annabelle is digusting and inconsiderate on the owners' part.

We have a big open field, with lots of paved walking trails, and most people walk their big dogs on leashes, and unfortunately, some don 't.

If I walk Sadie out there, leased of course, and a big dog approached us,
I am getting a feeling that we could both be attacked while I held her.

I made my mind up not to do this, unless I am with my parents as we walk together every day.

Bad idea?

Wishing Annabella a speedy recovery, so she can get back to her babies. Everytime I hear on the site about one of loved furbabies get hurt it breaks my heart. We do so much to protect them and then something like this happens. After you get Annabella well and back to her puppies, go after that dog owner

So sorry to hear of this incident i hope and pray that Annabella and her babies will be ok... its scary to see ur baby being attacked by a big dog, he probably has done it before and will do it again, good idea to call the shelter and inform them!
Please keep us updated!

I am so sorry...it is so unfair...i hate irresponsible owners

I will pray for Annabelle and for her puppies....please do call the shelter and do report the attack...make the owner pay for all vet fees, that is the least they can do

RustysMom · 04-21-2005, 06:14 AM

In my area the police would be called ASAP as this dog came onto your property and attacked your baby. This will help ensure the irresponsible owners pay Annabelle's vet bills and possibly make them more responsible owners. The police could notify the shelter for you in most cases.

kp&nala · 04-21-2005, 06:36 AM

i'm so sorry your baby was attacked. i don't have any advice but i will be thinking about all of you and i hope things start getting better. please give us an update when you can.

HeatherW · 04-21-2005, 07:14 AM

I am so sorry...It is so hard when your puppy is in pain because you want to do whatever you can to help, but there isn't much you can....I hope everything works out okay...and that the dog who attacked her is kept in his yard from now on!!!
hope annabelle gets well soon!!

feminvstr · 04-21-2005, 07:31 AM

I am so sorry ...its sad I hope Annabelle recovers soon!

If I may add tube feeding is not for the novice, it is very tricky. You can damage the tracheal as well the formula can back up on the puppie and end up in his lungs.

When I have to bottle feed I use a syringe as well. Since they are fed about every 3 hours I rotate the feeding because bottle feeding take much more time.

I hope this helps

We had to go back to the vet this morning, she was swelling real bad and not dong good. We were able to locate the punture wound this time. It is right below her anus. Her anal gland was ruptured/torn and a hole was pocked into her colon. There was fecal coming out the punture. She lost her milk commpletely and I think that is killing her she loves to nurse her babies. They have placed her on an extremely potent anitbiotic. Do to the location of the wound and that it involves fecal matter entering parts of her body that it shouldn't they said that there is a 50/50 chance she wont make it. She is not allowed around the pups or our other dogs. This is all so sad for her.

Lyz517 · 04-21-2005, 09:42 AM

I'am so sorry this has happened. I will be praying that Annabelle makes it through this as well as her puppies. This is really sad and at a time when her babies needed her.

I'am also upset because this incident should not have taken place. As soon as you get the chance I would be seeking that owner and if you havent yet notified the shelter(animal control).
This is horrible and that dog and owner need to be stopped. You could have been attacked too.

fourdez · 04-21-2005, 09:45 AM

Oh no, how terrible... I am so sorry. I will be thinking about you and praying for a total recovery. Stay strong !

Angela · 04-21-2005, 10:18 AM

I am so sorry, I can't believe you and Belle have to go through this b/c of someone not watching their dog! I hope your baby girl and her babies are alright. If you do have to feed them, at 10 days old you could start adding a little rice cereal in the night bottle.......Primie nipples and a can of pet milk to a can of water, an egg, 2 tsb of Karo....they should take to that. I hope she will be alright and you won't have to feed them for her, but sounds like she may need to rest and relax.

Babbie · 04-21-2005, 10:21 AM
