| watch to make sure she isn't lethargic or looking spacey. If she vomits get her to the ER vet... if her gums are grey- also to the ER vet.... otherwise just watch that she is eating, drinking and playing normal. Layla was dropped as a puppy (my lesson not to let kids hold her) and she was fine- a little dizzy for a few seconds but fine. |

I ♥ Joey & Ralphie! Donating Member | I remember reading of one yorkie who died when a remote control hit him on the head. They have a soft spot that doesn't close for a while. Concussions also can happen through head trauma, and you should be looking for any signs of vomiting, as this can indicate something serious. I know with children, you look at the pupils to see if they are both the same size, I'm not sure if the same is true with dogs. You do it with a flashlight. I call the vet when something like this happens, and they tell me what to look for. If the vet isn't open, I call the emergency clinic. They don't always tell me to bring him in, sometimes they say it can wait, and bring him in if X occurs. Best of luck.

| oh, my goodness, that is really scary. my 2 lb. mcdreamy fell only about 6 or 7 inches from the ground (slipped out of my hands) and hit his head. We STILL dont know if his injuries are going to be serious or not. If you read my post Saturday i think it was, it will explain everything that happened. He is not eating much at all, and has diarreha. dr. is going to put him on flagel tomorrow. its really scary. he's lost some of his balance when hes walking down the hall i notice now, and i am really concerned that hes not going to recoup from this fall. i hope i am wrong.

| Here is an article: Dog Head Injuries: Skull Fracture, Concussion, Seizure, and More Types I'm not sure of the whole history of this pup, but if you can I would take her to an ER to make sure...the reason I say this is because, better safe than sorry, and the fact that you are worried is cause enough for concern and perhaps an xray and exam will give you peace of mind. So sorry this happened, I know how worried you are as I would be too. Please keep us posted. ((((((Julie)))))

| I'm so glad you had her checked by the vet and all is OK. You are a good mommy, even taking the bed off the frame. I didn't want Huey under our bed, either, so I just built a box out of 1x 6's to elevate the box springs off the floor, but it created a solid foundation under the bed. The only part of the bed he can get under is the 3" overhang of the box springs over the homemade frame. The frame is flush against the wall so there is no gap there. I didn't want anyplace in the house where he could get and I couldn't reach him. Just a thought, in case you don't want your mattress to stay on the floor.
