| My worst fear happened today Tia is only 2 lbs and 6 months. I have found it a real challenge having such a small yorkie, I didn't think I would worry as much. My biggest fear is that someone would step on her and tonight it happened. My DH came home with pizza and was carrying the box downstairs. 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

| Im so sorry that happened to your baby.accidents do happen, But please have her checked if she acts if some thing is wrong, Not to scare you but that happened to my very first Yorkie and the people that I got her from didnt tell me and it damaged all the nerves in her back. |

| I'm so sorry for you! Poor little Tia. Is she licking her leg or any part of her back end? How is Bailey acting towards her? Is he sniffing any her leg or back? Try putting her down and walking a few steps away and calling her or offering her a favorite treat. Then you could see if she's limping. Please keep us posted on her condition. Prayers coming your way. Also remember to keep her warm and watch for hypoglycemia since stress can cause this. Is she peeing normally?

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Oh gosh I just hate hearing things like this. Your poor little baby These little ones are just so tiny and you have to be EXTRA careful around them But I know it was just an accident and unfortunately they do happen. I would see how she is tomorrow and if she is acting funny (or won't walk, or even limps) AT ALL - I would take her straight to the vet. Please do not hesitate in taking her if she is acting like it hurts her to walk, or if she is limping...there could be a real problem there. Hopefully there isn't, but it's better to be safe than sorry. And as kaymo asked, is she licking it at all?? I am saying a Prayer for your little one Please keep us posted on how she is doing.

| When a dog has a broken leg it is like a human. If you pick them up the good leg will pull up the broken one will just dangle. I had a sheltie one time that jumped off of a step and her leg rather than just limping when she ran it was limp and lifeless. I have had a lot of near misses and close calls but a tru break will always seem like more you usually will know. Not that it hurts any less though, They hurt like a bugger. Bonnie |

| I hope your little one will be ok, Leslie. Please let us know how she's doing today. Sometimes they can be bruised by our big feet and it takes awhile to heal, so I'm hoping it's nothing serious!
