remember me? i know i've been absent from yorkie talk for a few months, but college and life and whatnot has kept me too busy. anyhoo. i'm about to leave for the vet so i have to make this quick. my roomate accidentally stepped on baxter's leg while walking down the stairs and broke it VERY badly. it wasnt a very clean break either. the jagged edges turned the surrounding muscles into "hamburger meat" according to the vet, and he also said that it's very likely that a major nerve was damaged and baxter may not have full function of that leg again. he had his surgery yesterday and now he has a rod through the bone with two sticking through his skin connected by an acrylic fixture. and the external fixture must stay in place for 8 weeks. this is a very bad situation. not to mention vet bills are going to be at least $1000+ which i have no idea how i'm going to handle it. i'm in my third year of college and eating ramen noodles everyday. but that's not the point. please guys.. keep baxter in your thoughts. the next 10+ weeks are going to be really tough. yorkies arent usually very happy about not being able to move for an extended period of time. |
Oh, Mikey, I am so terribly sorry! And, yes, I had been wondering what had become of you and Baxter! I know how worried you must be about him and, yes, it won't be easy with your schedule and trying to take care of him, but I know that you love the little guy so much that you will find a way! We will keep both of you in our prayers! Please update us and please give him hugs & puppy kisses from Toto & me? Keep your chin up! ;) |
Mikey - I'm so sorry about Baxter's poor leg. I will keep him (and you) in our thoughts for a full and speedy recovery. Perhaps your vet will work with you on a long-term payment plan? You have been missed. Hope classes are going well. Take care of yourself, too. |
I'm so sorry to read of Baxter's accident! Sending lots of prayers that the next 8-10 weeks fly by and all will be better with him. Keep your chin up! We've missed you around here (certainly understand about college!) and it's good to see you here. Please keep us updated on Baxter and his progress. |
Oh no! OH gosh!!! I'm so sorry about that! Poor little thing! I'll pray for his recovery!!! :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: :hands: I'll create a new thread with a more "eye catching" title so more people are aware of this and will pray! |
Oh NO! poor baby. I am so sorry to hear this. talk to the vet and see if you can set something up. Baxter, you get better quick.:nursing: |

Mike...so sorry to hear about Baxter. We all know how much you love this little dog and what he means to you. We will definitely keep you both in our prayers. Poor little guy. :( Explain your situation to your vet....I bet he remembers what it was like to be in college and to live on Ramen noodles...I know I certainly remember those days. You take it easy, hon. You have alot of people here who care about you and who will always be here for support when you need it. |
Aw poor Baxter! I hope he has a speedy recovery. Hopefully your vet can give you a discount, or work a payment plan out for you. Good luck! |
Oh Mikey, I'm so sorry that happened to Baxter! At least he has you at home to love and help him. I'll be thinking about him everyday until we know that he is all better! |
Oh, that poor baby. Don't worry about those vet bills. Pay them $20 a month to keep them quiet and just worry about taking care of your baby right now. |

Hi Mikey, I have been wondering where you were. I am so very sorry to hear about precious little Baxter. What a bummer! Sounds like he is in good hands, though. I know that you will take care of him and give him lots of daddy lovin'. |
OMG, your roommate must feel absolutely awful. I'm going to PM you as I would like to make a donation towards Baxter's emergency fund. |
best wishes for your baby's recovery... we will say a prayer for him... d |
Welcome back Baxter! Wishing you a Good recovery! |
Here's to a quick recovery for Baxter! Yorkies are very resilient. I had one break a leg once and she was back to normal before I knew it. This sounds like a bad break but the time will go quickly,you'll see. Welcome back. |
Get well soon Baxter :) |
Best of luck to Baxter for a speedy recovery. I know because Bruce has had 2 leg surgeries that the confinement and immobility is hard...I also know what it is like to be on a limited income and try to cover surgeries. Bruce and I are now a little over $4k in, and have paid off only a small fraction, but believe me when there is a will there is a way!!! Please update us on you and Baxter! |
We need an update on Baxter. How is he? Surely he's been back to the vet, what's the latest? |
So sorry to hear about Baxter.:( Thoughts and prayers from over the water:getwell: |
