Bella's leg is broke - Page 2 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

Prayers for Bella -

I'm surprised she doesn't have a cast. Prayers for great healing. How old is your son, can he tell you what happened & understand how fragile she is?

oopsmyhalofello · 01-09-2008, 06:16 PM

My son is 2.5, he doesn't understand how fragile she is but he does follow my rules when she is out of her pen, he is not allowed to run or jump.. he is to do the yorkie shuffle when walking and he KNOWS he is not allowed to hold her. I don't even let him hold her on his lap. I'm very very careful about him and my almost 5 yr old because I know how easily that the can get hurt of killed. She was in he ex pen and I guess I underestimated her safety in there, I didn't even realize he could reach over it far enough to grab her... now I know better and can make sure that this type of thing can be avoided, but I just wish I had been able to avoid it all together so that Bella wasn't paying the price for my carelessness.

I do know there are some strong opinions on here about yorkies and kids, I've read them and everyone is entitled to their opinions.

I am curious what the poster who posted about rehoming my son meant by that ?

Aww... you're a good mom. Accidents happen no matter how careful you are, don't beat yourself up over it. Hope Bella is back to her old self soon!

tiggerr36792 · 01-09-2008, 06:28 PM

Awww poor baby I hope she heals quickly and all is well again!

Sounds like you've taken as many or more precautions than many puppy owners without tiny children. Sounds like you're a good mom to all your babies!!

Healing hugs and kisses..................

Wylie's Mom · 01-09-2008, 07:52 PM

Oh gosh, hugs to Bella - and to you too, Jackie! I'm sure your heart just sunk a million feet when you saw your Bella. It's so scary and wrenching whenever these babies are hurt. A couple of months ago another poster (following her baby's injury) said we'll all have to wrap our babies in bubble wrap....not a bad idea, I sometimes think

As for the "rehoming your son" comment from another post - I *think* that poster was trying to inject some humor....at least I think so...? I don't think it was meant as hurtful.

At least, I hope not.

Hang in there and hope Bella recovers quickly!

So sorry to hear about Bella.

The most important thing right now is to restrict her movement so that the leg can heal. If you want the best possible chance of avoiding surgery, then you should consider confining her to a crate for a while. Not the ex pen where she can jump up and down or walk around but a small kennal. I know it seems cruel but it's no different than confining a person to bed when they have a serious injury.

Get better soon Bella!!!

hope bella heals quickly!

LuvMyOliver · 01-09-2008, 08:19 PM

I'm so sorry about your furbaby's poor little leg. I hope she feels better as soon as possible. I know how you feel. My Oliver jumped out of his basket (didn't know he could - now I do) last night and hurt his little leg. It's an awful awful feeling.
Get well wishes from Oliver and I!

I have no opinions on that, but I'm sending prayers that Bella will heal quickly.

ellie81 · 01-09-2008, 08:26 PM

Poor baby! Accidents happen-to dogs, people, and kids too. It's just one of those things-please don't blame yourself. You're a great mommy to Bella and to your kids! Hugs to you, and get well soon, Bella!

Tinker'sMommy · 01-09-2008, 09:14 PM

Poor Bella, I hope she gets all better soon

Poor baby! I hope that Bella gets well soon. As some of the other posters stated, accidents happen. Accidents can happen in homes with children or in homes without children.
