We Are New And I Need Advice Please Read Urgent Very Urgent
 

1 week ago Bleu loves to run go jump in his bed talk to me then run to me and he gets a treat. I guess he thought he wanted to surprise me and do a "NEW TRICK so instead of jumping the side of "HIS BED" he jumped the foot of his bed catching his under carriage and ribs and hind feet and front feet ...... He kept running and playing like nothing was wrong .. I ran to him got him and he was fine...



2 days later...... He lost 2 teeth .. He also began to cry a painful yelping cry so I thought maybe he was teething... I went and bought him a teething pacifier... (cutest thing you ever saw)



Yesterday.... Woke up he eats drinks potties and poops just fine but walks a little different sometimes backwards and cries when I go to pick him up.. It scares me to death cause I never know when he is going to cry like that....
I called my mom over and she thought it could be internal. GET HIM AN APPPT AND GET IT NOW! So off we go to the Doctor.



Yesterday 4:00 pm Go to the doc DOES NO YELPING DID A FEW TRICKS WAS HAPPY GO LUCKY WE WERE THERE FOR AN HOUR WITH THE DOC ATE HIS TREAT WALKED NORMAL PASSED ALL EXAMS DOC GAVE PERFECT BILL OF HEALTH... I told doc but doc you have no idea he is in pain I know my baby he said LET ME GIVE HIM A PAIN SHOT .. BLEU DID NOT CRY.. He did very well.... SO Off to Walmart to get a toy or treat or outfit or something cause he did so good and.... mom is a pharmacist there so we had to go give her a update..... STILL ACTING PERFECTLY NORMAL...
OH AND NO TEMPERATURE!!


5 :30 YESTERDAY GET HOME HE RUNS THE STAIRS RUNS DOWN THEM GETS IN HIS BED TALKS ROLLS OVER SITS LAYSDOWN PUTS HIS TOYS UP AND IS HAVING A GREAT TIME ATE HIS TREATS POTTIED POOPED AND LOVING LIFE

8:00 PM YESTERDAY
AFRAID OF HIS BED CRIES WHEN YOU GO TO PICK HIM UP WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN THE STAIRS AND IS CRYING AGAIN!!!!

I called the doc and the doc is telling me to wait 24 more hours and observe him... HE EATS POOPS DRINKS BARKS GOOD EVERYTHING ELSE IS GOOD.
HE SAYS THE SHOT SHOULD HAVE LASTED 24 hours.. I said I think it wore off in 4 HOURS..

IM SO WORRIED MOM AND I THINK HE HAS A CHIPPED RIB MAYBE!! THE DOC SAYS IT WILL HEAL ON ITS OWN I ASKED IFTHERE WAS ANYTHING I COULD GIVE HIM OVER THE COUNTER FOR PAIN AND I DID NOT GET A ANSWER...

HAS ANYONE EVER GONE THROUGH THIS AND WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT THIS IS MY BABY AND IM A NERVOUS WRECK!

Vicki

Maybe you could ask the Vet. to exray the rib area. If he does have a fracture then the Vet. could tape up his rib cage. Also keep an eye on his urin and poo to see if he passes any blood. The baby definately has something that's hurting him.

Does This Require Surgery
 

Does This Require Surgery We Have Appt 400 Pm Today Im So Scared

How old is Bleu? Yes, x-rays are the answer - he probably doesn't need surgery - but you won't know anything until you get the x-rays.

Let us know what happens - I would like to give you a proper welcome, but I know you have urgent concerns.

Thank Yall
 

Bleu Is 6 Mo At 2 Pounds 6 Oz I Am Uploading Pic For You All To See 400 Isnt Getting Here Fast Enough

Maybe you need to find a new vet. That's hard on short notice but call around and look for one that feels right to you. Tell them what happened and see what they say over the phone-of course they can't give a definite answer but they could give you a few different possibilities. If it is something internal the sooner you can find it the better. Have you been going to this vet for awhile?? How has he been in the past for other problems?

Sincerity
 

No Other Problems And This Is His First Vet Visit!

He Has Appt At 400 I Will Notify All Of You Concerned Parents Of The Outcome And Hope And Pray I Can Be An Encouragement To All Of You In Your Time Of Need Like You Have Us

Thank You For Advice
 

I Am Indeed Calling Around

He may have tweaked his back a little and it is hurting him at times. Mine did that and the vet gave him some steroids and he was fine after that. Good luck.

Hooray For What Hubby Did
 

My Husband Just Texted Me And Said A Vet A Hour Away Is Pesonally Calling Me I Will Update You Soon!

My Husband Is Wonderful He Did Not Get The Number For Me To Call He Asked Them To Call Me He Knows Im A Basket Case

Hope your baby is ok! Your hubby is a star.


Sheilagh

What wonderful hubby :D keep us updated about the baby

Where do you live? It's possible that I or someoneelse her from Texas might know of excellent vets that have experience with Yorkies. It does make a big difference. Good luck to you and your baby.

According to her zip code she's in Corsicana.

Welcome to YT! hope your baby feels better soon!!

Any word on your baby yet? I sure hope it's nothing serious. Let us know soon as you find anything out. Int he meantime, my thoughts and prayers are with you.

Checking for an update. I hope everything is okay.

We Are Home From The Doctor!
 

First And Foremost Thank You For The Most Wonderful Support Today!

Bleu Had An Appointment At 4:00 He Has The First Vertebrae In His Neck Separated From His Neck... It Was Very Visible On The X Rays..

Then We Did Floroscope... And Doc Popped His Neck Vertebrae Right Back Into Place Then We Took More X Rays And The X Rays Revealed Eaxctly That.. I Was Very Happy And Pleased...bleu Is In A Cast Persay That Is Scheduled To Come Off This Saturday

He Was Sedated For All Of These Procedures And Was A Trooper I Am So Proud Of Him They Also Gave Him A Injection To Reverse The Sedation When We Were Done

I Was Sent Home With A Antibiotic Pain Meds And A Clear Mind Knowing He Took Care Of My Baby

He Passed All His Neurological Exams

The Doc Did Say His Knee Popped (bone On Bone) And This Was In Genetics But That He Was Not Concerned About It Unless Bleu Showed Signs Of Pain

He Did Have Blood In His Stool And They Gave Us Meds For That And Looked At It Under The Microscope..

He Has Metaclam (mispelled) For Pain And Albon For Tummy

He Wants Him On Gerber Graduates Chicken With Hunny....

Thank You Again If Anyone Has Questions Please Email Me And I Hope I Can Help Someone The Way You All Have Helped Me I Am Ever So Greatful

Hugs
Bleu And Mom (vicki)

Awww, Vicki, I'm so glad they did xrays! I hope Bleu makes a full recovery, bless his little heart. They can just scare you to death, can't they?

Vicki, I am so glad you got to the vet. Wow Bleu is one lucky boy. There have been others on YT who have lost their dogs to broken necks or have a lifetime of struggles.

Ok, now for the proper welcome :) We are so glad to have you here!! We hope you'll stay around & enjoy th knowledge of these fun, warm yorkie lovers. Sign Bleu up for our Little Gentleman's Club, you can do that on this thread: http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/sho...ight=gentleman

And we want to see pictures!!

I just picked up on this thread, I'm so glad Bleu received a diagnosis and treatment. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

Oh Thank God! How scary! We were praying for him and we continue doing so!!!

~Please be cautious~
 

I posted this on your other thread:

Be very, very careful with him. Look up something called Atlanto-Axial subluxation. My very first Chihuahua had it, and needed neurosurgery. It sounds very similar, and even jarring the dog with the neck out of place can sever the spinal cord.

I'm not meaning to scare you, but please just look into it.

Hugs,
Joy

Just wanted to welcome you to YT...and send my thoughts and prayers for your little boy...Bleu. Did the vet have an explanation for the blood in his stool? I sure hope all is well...keep us posted, Okay?

Vet Just Called
 

THE VET JUST CALLED TO CHECK ON BLEU... WE ARE BLESSED HE CARES SO MUCH ...WE GAVE HIM A GOOD REPORT AND WE GO BACK SATURDAY..

BLOOD IN STOOL- VET SAYS WILL CHECK AGAIN ON SATURDAY ... TOO MANY THINGS GOING ON TODAY BUT TESTED HIM FOR HEART WORMS AND COCCIDDIA AND BOTH WERE NEGATIVE

THANK YOU FOR THE INFO ON Atlanto-Axial subluxation.

WILL LOOK INTO THAT NOW

BLESSINGS BLEU AND MOMMY


OH AND BLEU HAS HIS OWN MYSPACE PAGE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THE URL LET ME KNOW OR YOU CAN LOOK HIM UP 2 WAYS

BLEU BOY BARBER
OR GO TO BROWSE TYPE IN 5 MILES FROM 75110 CHANGE AGE TO BETWEEN 35-40 FEMALE AND BLEUS PIC WILL POP UP IT IS A PUBLIC SITE AS OF NOW!!

So glad he's feeling better. I thought the same thing as some elses posted above:

Atlanto-Axial subluxation

** THIS IS VERY SERIOUS **

Please do a little research online about AAI /AAS - Also ask your Vet about this. PLEASE - there are too many babies that go undetected and then a slight movement and they break their necks, in some cases this leaves them paralyzed. Please check into this, ok? And 'if' for some reason he has AAI /AAS - then you can have surgery done to stablize the neck and you won't have to worry about him breaking it and being paralyzed. There are a few members here that have gone through this, and they would never wish it upon anyone as it is heartbreaking and very stressful.

Please keep us posted.

YAY! Another TX member! I hope your little boy continues to improve, and welcome to YT and the little gentlemen's club!!!

welcome to yt ,my scrappydoo was chasing a rabbit in the back yard and ran into the tetter totter on the swing set and it caught his rib we rushed him to the vet he said everything was fine but now he has one of his ribs sticks out the vet said there is nothing they can do for it just watch him that was 2 years ago ,he stll chases the rabbits in the yard he was yelping so loud i was crying but my hubby was calm ,he was not in any pain when we picked him up he instantly quite crying but now he watch that one side of his so it dont get pressure on it but you cant even tell he has it he acts normal.

As for you little man.. Please keep a close eye on him.. My Babybear is one that has AAI/AAS he broke his neck when he was a year and ten months... He still can not walk,I work with him daily.. He did this over a year and a half ago... Yorkies or any pup for that matter with neck problems she be treated like little china dolls.. Please Babybear has a lot of info on his dogster page..http://www.dogster.com/dogs/136060 Read his diary (archives) you can see his story.. We lost him at first he died at my feet... My husband gave him mouth to mouth to save his life.. He went undetected with his AAI.. So please read his webpage and contact us if need be.. He now has a email addy also.. Babybearswheels@aol.com if you would like more information or like to talk... Or you can Private message me...
But please do not let him jump or do anything crazy.. Even after he gets his cast off.. I don't want to see anyone go through what I have or do every day..
Don't want to scare you but this is very serious...
