HYSTERICAL CRYING someone please help I need someone to help me feel better about this....Mya (9 months old, 9.5 lbs) was running outside tonight playing, and she got into her manic mode and started sprinting. The next thing I know she started crying so loud and limping toward me....i freaked out she wouldnt walk or move for 30 minutes. I took her to the Emergency Vet asap. They took an Xray...fractured hip...she needs surgery. They said it is a fluke and she will be fine...but i am freaking out...I am taking her to her normal vet in the morning asap to get a 2nd opinion, cuz i want her surgery done by the vet who knows her and who i trust vs. the one the emergency vet refers me to. She has been under anesthetic before and did fine...but i am just freaking out. Has anyone else had this happen??? Please tell me she's going to be okay :( |
I am so sorry your baby got hurt. I have not had anything like this happen but I can sure feel your pain in your post. Praying that your baby's surgery will go well and she will be well soon. Hugs |
Oh Hun (((((HUGS)))) I will keep you and your baby in my prayers... |
Oh, poor doggy! Nothing in life is guaranteed, but if she has been under anaesthesia before, she should be fine again. She looks like a decent-sized dog, which helps too. She'll be back on her feet and I promise she will forget about it much faster than you will. Animals are much more resilient that way than people. |
My 4-pounder had two major surgeries after 10 years old, and he not only survived, he thrived. The first was to repair a torn cranial cruciate ligament. He was walking on it fine the day he got his cast off. The second was to repair a perineal hernia. He was walking on it on Day 2 and running by Day 3. As QuickSilver says, there are no guarantees, but Yorkies are a surprisingly hardy breed, even the tiny ones. I wish you the best of luck. Try not to worry. You're doing what's best for her. |
she's laying on the couch next to me right now, awake but in and out of sleep...breathing is faster than normal :( is that normal :( :( |
SHe should do fine, but I understand how upseting it is. I will keep her in my prayers |
If you have some baby asprin, I think giving her a whole one would be fine. My vet said it was ok to give my 2.3lb puppy half, so maybe even 1 & 1/2 would be ok. that might calm thing s down some till you can get to the vet tomorrow. |
The emergency vet gave her pain medicine and refills for me for likea week....but it's once/24hours so she's good till tomororw night :( :( but it doesn't seem to be bothering her any less :( :( does that mean the medicine isn't workin? it's been 2 hours :( |
Oh, how awful for you and your baby! I agree with the previous comments: if she's come through anesthesia and surgery well in the past, that sets a good precedent for her next surgery. And she will forget about it before you do! Two of my dogs have undergone major surgeries and neither of them seemed to be bothered after a week or so had passed. They are more resilient than we are! I hope things go well for you both and that she is out frisking about again soon. |
I'm so sorry your baby was injured. I'll say a prayer that all goes well and she recovers quickly. Hugs to you! |
Still up, can't take my eyes off her...I am so sad for her, she hasn't even given me any kisses :cry: I pulled her crate out into the den (she made it clear she wanted to go in it when she tried to walk toward the bedroom, she slept for awhile and woke up not too long ago... I had some boiled chicken leftover bc she has had diahrrea the past 2 days, and she SCARFED it down, and a few treats and food....she hadn't eaten since morning. She also hasn't pood...i feel it in her belly, she must have to go SO bad, and pee, but she won't even move when i take her outside, just looks at me with those little black eyes...sigh, I hope she will go if the time comes she has to go bad enough...if not i might ahve them do an enema before the surgery :( |
so sorry your baby is hurt...praying for a safe and complete recovery... |
I am so sorry that little Mya was injured. Will keep her in my prayers. Hopefully the recovery will be quick and she will be zipping around again before you know it. Yorkies are, indeed, tough little guys! |
I'm so sorry your little one is hurt and not feeling well. Maybe you can call the vet and ask if theres anything you can give her for "breakthrough" pain. Or ask if theres another med you can give her that is given more times a day rather and a long-acting drug. I find the long-acting meds dont usually cover the whole 24 hours(at least with people it doesnt). Also...have you tried helping her to go to the bathroom...by this i mean maybe getting a long towel and supporting her mid-section so she doesnt put any pressure on her back legs? Hope things start to get better for you and your baby. My prayers are with you both. |
Keep us updated! |
I just dropped her off at her vet to get an enema....sobbing, she looked at me like "why are you leaving me" I just want her back and healthy :cry: Her vet was going to refer me to someone, but it turns out the other surgeon is renowned and board ceritified and a specialist in orthopedics in small animals (aka my Mya) He is either going to fit her in for later this afternoon or tomorrow morning. I just want the healing process to begin :cry: my poor baby |
awww.....i know you must be scared to death....try to hang in there...i will keep her in my prayers.. |
Oh I'm so sorry! Please know she and you will be in my prayers. Keep us posted.:animal-pa |

That is good news. Sending prayer's for your little Mya and wishing her good luck with her surgery and a very speedy recovery. Hugs, |
Just dropped her off, had to drive 30 minutes, but so worth it....the doctor seemed so nice and knowledgable...he was even able to answer all 100 of my questions and concerns... sigh I know she is gonna look so pitiful, but i just want to see that little button nose again:( |
Lauren, Please know, she's in all our thoughts and we're all sending you both well wishes and hugs. Keep us updated when you can. Good Luck little one. ;)Love, Aiden, Pongo, Harley, and their Mommy Melissa:animal-pa |
Thank you so much Melissa, and everyone else sending their thoughts. I don't know what I would've done with out YT last night. I was up all night, literally, researching this type of surgery/condition, and the doctor doing it etc etc...and YT gave me SUCH a good feeling about it after having read everyone's stories, i didn't hear one negative result from FHO. So thank you YT for being my shoulder to cry on and my glimpse of hope and a healthy future. |
I'm so sorry you are going through this... and your poor little one. Don't you wish you could take the pain for her. I know you'll spoil her even more when she comes home. Keep us posted and know you both are in our prayers... |
Just got a call, she did great and is in recovery. PHEW. I know this is gonna be harder on me than her. Question: She loves to follow me everywhere...how do i prevent her from always trying to get up and walk for 10 days?? Pick her up and bring her with me??? |
I'm so glad to hear her surgery went well. Maybe you could try one of those sling carriers that go around the neck? They remind me of little papoose's but they look comfy and she could be cuddled next to you wherever you go. I don't think they're very expensive and a lot of pet stores carry them. |
So glad to hear Mya made it through surgery OK. It is so hard when our babies are hurting. We just want to make it better NOW. |
I just went through something similar with Missy, only it was her knee that was fractured. I have her confined in an ex-pen right by computer, and when she's not in there I am holding her. I can't even give her access to just the livingroom because she doesn't know how to walk (only sprint and do jumping jacks). :p I'm glad your baby is all fixed up and on her way to healing. |
I'm so sorry tha Mya has fractured her hip. She was running and fractured her hip? About 6 weeks ago Piper who was 8 months started to limp a little. After about a week I brought her to the vets and they x-rayed her hip. It was fractured. The ball of the femur had a crack all around it and there was a floating bone chip. That type of fracture could be from trauma or Legg Perthes Disease. I know for a fact that Piper did not hurt herself because she is watched 24/7 and there was no injury. Piper had hip surgery on December 29. I don't know , but I don't think a 9 month old puppy's hip should fracture from running across the yard. Puppies are suppose to run, jump and play without their bones breaking. |
1 Attachment(s) My poor baby :( she is all drugged up...it is a huge incision, I tried putting her in her crate but she just wasn\'t having it, she just stood there :( so I just layed her on the couch next to me :( I don\'t know what I\'m gonna do about sleeping tonight...she seems to want to be by my side sigh. |
