The first time you hear it in a puppy it is terrifying, but you learn with experience, and the bigger they get, the easier it is for these things not to happen. I agree it is terrifying when you hear that screaming.....and yes, I would agree it is because they are feeling some amount of pain. They have such tiny bones, that they are hurt so easily. Most of the time they will be fine, but always look out for a few days after to check they really ARE ok. I am sure you will do this without anyone telling you - we were all first timers once, and we all learn to be extra careful with these fragile little dogs. I feel sorry for you - you must have been terrified for your puppy - even if you have learned by now yourself to be extra careful, I know what it is like when you have visitors who haven't a clue that these are not just normal hardy wee dogs. It's like you have to think of what could happen if visitors are over, or you are out and about - just like you would have to do with a toddler. It's horrible to hear any baby in pain. Give your puppy an extra hug from me, and just keep an eye on him the next few days, as I am sure you will;) p.s. another thing to watch out for is that they don't jump off a bed that is higher than they realise ! :animal-pa Best wishes, Debra x x x x:hug: Tara(7years)Casper(4and a half years)Tammy(4years) ....all 4lbs. |

What I meant in my post was that if someone stepped on me, even though I was not hurt, I too would squeal...out of fear. Shoot I would squeal if someone even came close to stepping on me...again out of fear. That's all... |
A bell is a FAB idea - I put one on my three, and Tara had one from when she was a puppy as she is sooooo small - it really helps - I would deffo recommend a bell - I heard Tara everywhere she went, and did it with my other two as well until I got used to their movements too. That is wee Tara in my Avatar pic - she is tiny ! :D ......Debra, Scotland:animal-pa All my doggies are 4lbs and tiny. :) |

I find that just standing back and calmly evaluating the situation and not going crazy is the best thing to do. When she sees that I'm not acting upset, she calms right down. We all need to use common sense when we think our babies have been possibly injured. Sadie has never been injured in any of her "dramatic" squealing situations. Just startled perhaps. |
sensitive little yorkies From my experience (somewhat limited maybe) I do think yorkies can cry out of shock rather than pain some of the time. I know my little boy howls and cries when I clean his feet, give him a wash, take him to the vets etc. etc. He is very sensitive, he even cried out loud when I first put a lead on him. Yorkies are so tiny that we do need to be extra careful around them, I have stood on Oscar's foot twice and he once wriggled out of my arms and fell on to the kitchen floor, I think I was more upset about my carelessness than he was. Let's not be too hard on ourselves, we do our best and I do have to remember sometimes, he isn't a child, he is a dog, a hardy terrier and his ancestors used to pull rats out of holes, they can be tougher than they look!! The bottom line is we all love our yorkies and we wouldn't hurt them for the world but we just need to need to take our time and keep our eyes open!! |
