Awww... I'm sorry she broke her leg. It's traumatizing for the whole family, isn't it?

How big is Maggie?

Hoping she will heal quickly.

Poor baby, praying for a quick recovery:hands:

maggie is 5 lbs, almost 10 months.

she is NOT happy about this cast on her leg :) she is staying close to me and really not wanting to walk around much. She went out to potty this morning, came in the door and just sat there looking at me. I walked over to her and she started wagging her tail...she wanted me to carry her :) it is hard not having her drivers side leg :)

Sorry to hear about Maggie
 

pepe mint--Good morning--I had company most of yesterday and did not get on the computer much. I just saw this thread. Ya had quite the adventure yesterday. I am so sorry to hear about little Maggie. I pray she gets better soon and the 4 weeks to recovery goes smoothly--for you and her!

I think our little Oscar may be our "accident-prone" baby. He has already had 3 accidents--none of which were as bad as your baby's broken leg, but it sure is scary--for mom and for the baby!

Hope your daughter is feeling better this morning, too!:)

It is beautiful weather in Mississippi today. Hope yours is the same!

:getwell: :big_hug:

Maggie is in our thoughts and prayers. Glad that she is home with you. It sounds like she is feeling a little better. :) And from your post it sounds like you are in better spirits. I hope the same is true for your daughter. I am sure that Maggie will be zooming around the house in no time, once she figures out how to navigate with 3 legs. But for now mommy can carry her wherever she needs to go! ;) Please keep us posted on Maggie's recovery. Take care

Prayers for a fast recovery.

meggie.hope you feel better soon sweet heart.hugs to you.

thanks to everyone. you are all very sweet.


I had to give her a pain pill this morning :( she is just whimpering a lot. she really doesn't know how to get around with this big cast on her leg :) I have put a sock over it so that when she goes outside, it doesn't get wet, and also to keep her from licking it.

hopefully the pain will get better soon...it is killing me to see her like this :(

my dd just got up and she saw maggie and the cast for the first time. I think now, she understands a little better what happened. but she seems to be ok...not down on herself like she was yesterday.

POOR BABY !! I'm so sorry it's really broken and sending get well wishes to Maggie - I hope she completely heals and has no after effects...

GET WELL SOON MAGGIE !

I'm sorry it was broken. Poor Maggie. I hope the pain subsides and her little leg heals quickly.

Poor Maggie. I'm surprised she isn't trying to chew that cast off. Maybe she will learn to walk on it better when the pain stops. Hope she gets better soon. Patty

Poor Maggie! I am praying for her pain to be gone and a quick recovery!

Bless her heart.
One of my boys broke his front leg when he jumped off a chair. Vet splinted it.
I now show this little guy. Can not tell he ever had a broken leg. No limb at all.
So hopefully your little girl will heal the same.:)

I'm out of state and just read this thread. I'm really sorry to hear about Maggie's leg, and was relieved that it is a clean break. She should be in less-to-no pain shortly. I will be thinking about both of you!

Sending our prayers...
 

sending our prayers from Cleveland, OH to Maggie and her family... Hope you all feel better soon!!

Oh, Pepe mint...I'm so sorry for Maggie and your daughter! Poor both of them. It's encouraging that others have had similar problems and their babies are just fine now. I'm sure it makes you feel so bad seeing little Maggie in discomfort (I felt bad when Max came home after being neutered with a cone on his head and finally had to remove it b/c he looked so pathetic), so I can only imagine the cast. Hopefully, she'll get used to it and the 4 weeks passes quickly for you all! Bless all of you!

here is a pic of her in her little cast :) I put a red sock over it to keep her from bothering it. as soon as i take the cast off, she starts licking and chewing it. little stinker. she is such a mess right now, really could use a bath. but i guess it will be a while before she gets one. I will just have to use a washcloth and try and keep her cleaned up that way.

Ohhhh Mandee, Just now seeing this thread. I am so sorry that Maggie has a broken leg, poor lil girl....Sending prayers to her and your family for a speedy recovery.:getwellso Lil Maggie.

I hope both of your babies are feeling a bit better,i wish your little Maggie a full recovery.

awww.....what a sad face!

Get Well Soon Maggie!

Oh dear, the poor little thing! I feel so sorry for her. I hope she starts healing real soon so she's not in alot of pain. Awww, makes me wanna cry. Give her a treat and a popcicle!:)

So sorry to hear about that. I would get an XRAY just to make sure so it doesn't heal uncorrectly. dogs bones heal very fast, i think about a week or two for broken bones. so if its broken and it heals wrong, then you'll need to do surgery to fix it. hope everything is fine though and its not broken

we have the xray to show the break, i am taking her to her regular vet in the morning and we will ask them to look at it again to check the status of it. I have a ton of questions...and one of them is "how do we know it is set right???" :)

OH honey... I am sooo very sorry to hear this. We went through this exact same thing close to a year ago, but boy does this bring back some memories.

I told you before that I liked your dog's name because that's my daughter's name.... well my Maggie fell down with Pixie when Pixie was about 4 months old. It shattered Pixie's elbow and she had a clean break across 3 toes (reconstructing Pixie's elbow was her first surgery). I was horrified: 4 broken bones. And worse yet was when Maggie realized what happened. She is still heartbroken over it.

On the up side, bones heal and hearts mend. Maggie learned a big lesson that day that she still remembers today. Several lessons: #1 being don't touch my dog LOL but she also learned how fragile yorkies and baby dogs really are. She learned that they're really real and have feelings. I know it's rough, but take the opportunity to let your daughter learn :)

Some lessons have to be learned the hard way - I wish I'd known how fragile Pixie was before, and she'd never have had to go through a lot that she did. But I learned my lesson, too. Maggie is now overly protective of Pixie. She won't let any of her friends pet her because she's horrified that someone will break her again.

I know it's a rough time... and it'll be a stinky one, too :p They do have some spray shampoo that you can bathe your dog without getting her wet. We had gotten some from the pet store while Pixie was in a cast (for almost 4 months). It's not the best stuff in the world, but it helps :D

Give your daughter a big hug for me... and let her know that everything's going to be ok. Your Maggie's bone will heal up and she'll keep growing and her fur will grow and she will be able to walk and one day, you'll never be able to see that anything happened :D

**big hugs** to you! I'm here if you need me :D

Ohhhh the poor thing :exclaim: :exclaim: :exclaim:

Hope Maggie and your Daughter will feel better.


Heads up Maggie ---- Maya send you a :big_hug:

That face says it all. Get well soon little one!

Maggie get well soon.:)

From the picture, she looks like she is in pain. So sorry to hear about her break. They little bones are so tiny and fragile. It is difficult to keep them from jumping off the bed, etc., though. Charlie is able to jump on the sofa and higher levels, Sophie was much smaller and couldn't jump up, but she did jump off the bed several times and I would hold my breath when she landed.

Good luck and look forward to your post tomorrow. Warmly, Deborah

she is definitely uncomfortable. i dont know if it is because her leg is hurting or because she hates the cast. the pics were taken this morning when she was on pain meds. she has not had any meds since this morning and seems to be feeling ok. but she is sleeping a lot.
