sad news

[kjc]

I'm so sorry for your loss. RIP Boo Boo. It is common practice to take a new puppy to the vet within the first 2 days of bringing him home to have his health accessed. I also always take mine in to the vet after any kind of a fall or accident such as running into a wall or door, or jumping and landing badly off the furniture. Puppies and dogs with vomiting and/or diarrhea also need to be seen by a vet within 2 days of the onset. They can dehydrate quickly which can also result in death. Again, I'm so very sorry for your loss.

If the vet thinks it's parvo... your house will need to be cleaned thoroughly with a 5% solution of bleach and water. I would toss any puppy toys and bedding... just buy new things for your new puppy. Spray your yard with the bleach solution too (if the puppy went outside). Parvo can live in the environment for many months.

Once again so sorry for your loss and again welcome to YT sorry you found us under such sad circumstances. Between now and June you will have a chance to read a lot on here about yorkies, I am assuming that this may be your first one, but even if it is not, you will learn a lot. I have had yorkies for 25 years and just joined here in Jan, I can not believe how much I learned in that short time, and LOL I thought I knew it all. Also take a look at how this forum is set up, I think in your grief and being new you did not realize that you posted your thread in the section where people post videos. There are lots of different sections for different topics, this helps the reader find the subject they looking for easier. I look forward to hearing more about the puppy you will be getting in June.

yes, the vet did mention parvo....he already had his second shot and was due for his third parvo within a week...i quickly informed the breeder and she assured me that all her puppies are thriving and very healthy ....i do believe her.....

Yes, they can have internal damage after a fall, and you should take them to the vet immediately. That's a big fall for a little dog and most kitchens have hard floors. Joey's breeder told me never to allow anyone to hold Joey who wasn't sitting down, she made me promise! Also, it's important to hold one of their paws when you hold them, this will keep them from leaping from your arms. I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I didn't know about falls either till I read these posts. I dropped my baby when she was about 16 weeks old and by the Grace of God she was fine. I hope when your new little blessing arrives he/she will help to ease your pain.

thank you...only people sitting down will be allowed to hold puppy...people underestimate how strong they can be...the only thing that still bothers me is that if i felt he was injured at all i would of taken him to vet immediately..he didnt limp did not seem dazed...he was up and playing five min later...i guess i learned.....

Also need to take them to the vet when they start acting sick that is very important with a small puppy!

Internal bleeding isn't alway painful at first, I've read many people say take them to the vet if they fall over just to make sure. Again, so sorry for your loss.
