Oh my . . . .how is Tia this morning???? Hope she is back to her normal self. Lots of warm huggs to you and Tia.

Hi Everyone. Thank you all for your prayers, kind words and wishes. Tia had a good sleep last night and seemed to be okay this morning. She wasn't favoring her leg and walked well. What a horrible lesson to learn for our whole family but we know now to make sure we really watch where we are stepping! I'll keep my eye on her for the rest of the day. Thanks again everyone

A little cat bell on her harness would let everyone know when she's right by there feet.

Oh You Are Lucky. I Accidentlly Stepped On One Of My Pups And It Caused Brain Damage, And She Died At The Vet's, It Was Awful. I Don't Ever Want That To Happen Again. I Would Get A Bell Too. Especially On The Little Tinies. I Am Glad She Is Ok.

I am so happy to hear this update! Doesn't it just make you INSTANTLY sick

. Thank God she seems alright today. Still, keep a close eye on her for any signs of trouble.

so sorry that this happened, but glad she is doing better. Are you going to take her to the vet just for a check?

Connie · 10-02-2006, 08:44 AM

I am also so glad to hear this update! Thank goodness she's doing okay!

baby03 · 10-02-2006, 10:14 AM

I am so sorry for Tia. I will keep her in my thoughts and prayers to be okay!!

yorkieusa · 10-02-2006, 10:14 AM

Good, Leslie! So far, so good. Let us know how she continues to do. Well, I hope...

Im so glad to hear that Tia is better and doing well.

WE ALL NEED TO LEARN THE YORKIE SHUFFLE!!!!

Shuffle your feet when your in the house, and that way you cant step on little yorkies they just get pushed by your foot.

Works well for us...

Both Bailey and Tia ran up the stairs to say hi to daddy when his foot came down squarely on Tia' back. She cried out and ran down the stairs and then just stopped. I picked her up and she was shaking like a leaf. I watched to make sure she didn't go into shock. She stopped shaking after about 10 minutes. I have watched her all evening and she won't walk on her left leg. Actually, she doesn't seen to want to walk at all. My DH denies there is anything wrong with her and says she "playing me". I know he is just in denial and will be really devastated if there is something wrong. I'm going to give her the night and see how she is in the morning. She will let me touch her back and both of the legs. How do you tell it there is a break. Would she let me touch her leg and bend it? I just hope that she is okay

I am so sorry to hear what happened. I think that is one reason that I would not get such a small dog, with the fear that we would step on it. My prayers go to you and puppy.

I'm so happy that she's better. Have you taken her to the vet just to be sure that everything is fine ?

JiggityJig · 10-02-2006, 11:34 AM

Glad all turned out well!

With two tiny babies and a houseful of clumsy (human!) males, I opted to keep mine in breakaway collars with jingly tags. We never have to wonder if they're around! I know that collars are a debated issue with yorkies, but these are great, and DO open on their own if too much pressure gets put on them (when the dogs are wrestling, or whatever). It's an option you might want to consider, anyway!

I'm so sorry to hear that happened to your baby, but happy to see the good update. I know how that must feel to see that happen to your little one. My little cousin slammed the door on Chloe once and I thought I was going to die of shock just hearing her yelp while trying to squirm through the door. Its so scary to see something like that happen to ours babes.

BLowry · 10-02-2006, 01:02 PM

we ALWAYS look down when we walk around if Lillie (pup) is around...Sadie usually jumps around like a jumping bean so she is easy to see. I know accidents can happen.....If it were me I wouldn't wait to bring her to the vet...especially if she isn't walking...My daughter had a pekingese....she got run over by a fed ex truck...she only cried out once but clearly couldn't walk...she rushed her to the vets, they did x-rays and found she had a broken back...they could have sent her to an emergency center but said she MAYBE had a 50/50 chance she would ever walk again...surgery (7 yrs ago) was over 3500.00...my daughter had just started a new job and just didn't have the money..unfortunately she had to have little Iris put to sleep...
