| That is sad. I'm sorry for your loss. I don't know about the fall. I guess it all depends on if there was any damage.

| I am sorry for your loss. As soon as a pup shows signs of being sick or are dropped then should got to the vet as soon as possible because they are so little they go down hill so fast.

Max Main's Mamma Donating YT Member | So sorry for your loss as well. How devastaing. Max had a fall when he was 13 weeks but it was about 3 feet. He was wiggling so much as I was going to put him down and fell on the tile. He cried a bit and I took him directly to the emergency vet because I had read so many horror stories. He ended up being just fine but you can never be too careful with the little ones. I am not a vet, but those symptoms do not seem related to a fall. He was probably sick when you got him. It is very important to alert everyone that your baby may have had parvo. I hope you get answers soon. Hugs.

| I do not let anyone hold my dogs. If I have a change of heart, THEY MUST SIT ON THE FLOOR AND I SIT RIGHT THERE, WATCHING OUT FOR MY DOG....They struggle, squirm, and wiggle sooooo much, and people tend to have a lax hold on the dog....that does not work with a small pup.....I have known personally of two such incidences, and the fall did kill the pup, one died immediately, the other two had internal injuries secondary to deacceleration injuries...ruptured spleen, intra-abdominal bleed, etc.......We learn from mistakes, lessons hard learned........I am so sorry about you loosing your baby..... |

| sad news thank you everybody for the comments...i did let the breeder know and all her pups are fine...in fact i plan on getting another pup by her at end of june...this was a painful lesson....i still think about what may have killed boo boo...i guess i could of done an autopsy but it wouldn't of brought the doggie back...the weird thing was that about 5min after the fall he was completely normal running around and playful...the symptoms didnt show up until about 10 hrs later....let this be a warning to please not allow anyone to hold your pup while standing...i had to learn the hard way |
