| I thought Buddy broke his leg OMG this am the rain and wind was so bad. I put his raincoat on and had an unmbrella in one had and his leash in the other and opened the storm door to go out and he dashed out at the same time the storm door was closed by the wind leaving his right leg in the door. He screamed so bad and started biting my coat with anger. I was so scared. Once I was able to open the door he calmed down and let me check his leg. Holy cow I'm sure it was sore. He walked ok on it to potty and I carried him back home. He's never been injured before. What do I look for? If he's walking on it can I assume it's not broken? I feel so bad. That darn door slammed with such force I only pray he's ok tonight when I get home. Poor Buddy. I laugh now at how he reacted being angry at me and getting aggresive growling and biting my coat. I know what it feels like to get your finger caught in the door so I can just imagine his pain when it happened. Just say a little prayer for him that it's only sore and not broken. |

| Aww, poor buddy I have no idea, but would *think* that if he was walking on it OK, that it's not broken, but probably bruised. Bless his little heart (and leg) I hope when you return home tonight, he's jumping up giving Yorkie kisses like normal.

| I think I'd have the vet look at it because dogs do sometimes hide pain and walking on it doesn't mean that there isn't a problem. Maybe iit isn't borken but did anything get damaged or does he need pain meds... I hope he is okay.

Ellie, when he calmed down I checked his leg and pad and I didn't feel anything different. Nothing seemed out of place if that's what you mean. It is a miracel if it is not broken that door slammed with such force on him. He was walking. I wish I were closer to go home at lunch time. It's like a hurricane here this morning. I can't wait until 5:00 to go home and check. ER is right down the street from us if necessary. I know, if anything, it going to be sore. | |

We don't want to run to the vet for everything but if a door slammed that hard on a small child's leg, seeing a doctor would probably be best. If it isn't bothering him when you touch it and he isn't limping or holding that leg funny, maybe he is just fine.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Poor Buddy. I would think it will just be sore. If it was broken I think he would not want to walk on it.

Everything happened so fast but when I think about his reaction I just gotta laugh. He was really angry with me, growling, showing his teeth and snapping at my coat. Poor Bud didn't know what hit him. I think that's the first time I ever heard him scream. I feel so bad even tho I'm laughing at his reaction. Bad me! | |

Donating YT 10K Club Member | Oh poor Buddy....he bit ya cause he couldn't yell a bad word. I hope he's okay...you could always call the vet and asked if you can give him an over the counter pain medicine.

| I hope is ok , and nothing is fractured. Poor boy, that sounded painful even when you described what happened. if I were in the same situation, i would take suzi to the vet, they probably would do an exray to be on the safe side. bescase if their is even a small hairline fracture it needs to be splinted in place so it can heal propperly. I have heard horror stories of animals getting hurt, and then the bone does not heal back right, and the animal is lame for life. Guess I watch too much animal cops Anyhow, the dooor slammed so hard on him and even though he is a bigger Yorkie , He still could have internal damage in his leg.

| I spoke with the vet and he said since he was not limping check it again tonight and make sure he's still not limping. If so bring him in which I will do immediately. It all happend so fast. I can give him a baby asprin if I think he's uncomfortable. He also said never give "Tylenol" just thought I would mention that. I don't use that anyhow, does nothing for me. Wish I could call home and ask him how's he doing? |
