| broken leg my baby harley 4 lbs yesterday and 71/2 months old jumped off the chair in our den and broke his leg. our vet here said they could not repair because of break and we drovehim yesterday to a specialty clinic in memphis, tn. the surgery was today and he came thru surgery good and is awake. i hope he will be able to come home friday. the dr said he would need to be crated for months instread of weeks. he broke his left front leg between his ankle and his knee. they put in a plate and some tiny screws. I am devastated. I don't know what to expect and have been trying to find any post about this to get more information. does anyone have any ideas? or has anyone had any experience like this. My last yorkie never had any problems and i feel like such a horrible mother! : |

Donating YT 14K Club Member | OH NO! I'm glad that your baby pulled through the surgery okay. Keep us updated. In the mean time, you might want to get a ramp that he can use to get on the couch...for the future.

| I am so sorry your baby had this accident. YT is a great place to commiserate and talk to other yorkei owners. I know I read a story on here recently about simialar break and surgery. If you do a search I am sure you can find it and then PM the owner. Welcome to Yorkie Talk and I hope his recovery is quicker than the doctor predicts. |

| oh no, that's sounds terrible - i can't imagine harley not being able to play sometime in the future. luckily, if need be i can take him to work and i live only 5 minutes from work. I hope i can keep him in his playpen if i'm not home so he has a little more room. still waiting on the dr to call with an update - they had another emergency surgery this afternoon. the nurse says he's doing good and will be up some tomorrow. i just pray he'll be able to come home soon. i have a carrier i can wear that he just loves - it reminds me of a kangaroo pouch. i would carry him from now if if the dr will let me. thanks to everyone for your support and help - |

| Wow! I'm so sorry these things have happened to the above dogs. mstemason, I'm still amazed that this was caused jumping off a chair. Was it a clumsy jump? (I hope that I don't sound too ignorant) Harley is such a cute darling! |

| update he actually jumped off the foot stool to our chair - about the same height as a sofa. I could just die. I jsut had a call from the surgeon and he said harley was doing fine - resting confortably and had actually eaten tonight "just like a champ" - he said that was a really good sign! I'll get another update tomorrow. Hopefully all is progressing good. Am wondering if i should try and go see him tomorrow. I'm afraid I will get really upset especially since he won't be able to come see me and i don't won't him to not understand why i am leaving him. it's about an hour and a half drive. does anyone have an opinion? I really just scared to go until he can come home. thanks |

| How long is he going to still be there? It might be good to bring him something that smells like you or his favorite toy so that he feels more at home. I hope he starts feeling better soon and can come home to get some TLC.
