Our first bulldog was electrocuted. She vomitted alot but did not have noticeable burns in or around her mouth. She did go into pulmonary edema which in the end took her life.
I really hope that Armani continues to improve! It is so hard when our furbabies get hurt!

Happy to hear Armani is doing better. I will keep you both in my prayers.
XOXO

Sending big hugs to you and Armani & Zeus sends his puppy kisses! I can imagine the guilt you feel because I too hurt my baby when we first got him and I still cry to tell that story. I dropped him on my tile floor:eek: Trust me they are very resilent and accidents happen. No one blames you. I am sure most of us have some story or another that we will always live to regret. A suggestion when you finally do bathe Armani. Since he loves warm showers with you maybe you can put a couple of towels in the dryer and have your husband bring them to you when you are ready to get out. We do this for Zeus after his bath's and we make the house nice and toasty. I hope you both heal soon.:animal-pa

The vet's office was booked today so we will go tomorrow. I'm 100% sure that me sitting on him caused his injuries. I sat down pretty hard and it took me a few seconds before i even realized i was sitting on Armani. I stood up & checked him over real fast and didn't notice anything so I went back to playing on the computer and I was getting ready to head out to do some shopping. Armani will only go to me and if i'm gone he will usually hide from my husband and my kids so for my husband not to notice anything wrong with him is normal. My husband just said he had the runs so he gave him a bath. When i got home Armani was no where to be found so i went looking for him and noticed all of his symptoms. Armani is only 6 months and he currently weighs 2lbs 6oz so he is just a little guy. i'm 105 pounds which doesn't seem like a lot, but to a 2lb puppy i'm sure it felt like a lot! When I thought about what happened it all made sense...i sat on his head and that's where his injuries were...mostly the left side which makes sense to me as well.

Anyways, Armani is still improving and i'm actually blown away! He's starting to look more like himself, he's still eating & drinking. I haven't noticed any blood in his urine or his poo (which is AWESOME) he did have the runs today, just once but i think it's from the sudden change in his diet...right now he's on wet food because he was having problems using the left side of his mouth to chew with...but i'm starting to add more and more dry food mixed in with the wet food and he's doing really well. He's up moving around & is back to following me around the house. He still is a little off balanced but only on the left side...i'm not sure if it's a neurological issue or if it's just from the swelling in his eye? or if he is having vision problems in his left eye? I'm just thankful he's doing so well! I did give him a bath today because he was in his kennel when he had the runs so i had to get that off of him....and he did okay i actually did heat some towels up so that he wouldn't get too cold & i could tell he enjoyed it! he didn't spend 30 mins shaking like usual so i'm definitely going to do that from now on! I will update again after Armani's trip to the vet! I'm thinking it should be good news & if it's not all good i know we can manage...i'm just so thankful he's still here with me....I couldn't imagine losing him. He really is one of the family...so i'm going to do whatever it takes to get him back to 100%

Hi

:animal-pa

Updates??
 

Just wondering if the vet checked Armani, and how he's doing. Can't get this little one off my mind and hope he makes a full recover.

So glad to hear he's doing better! :D

So glad to hear Armani is on the mend! Sending our love and hope for a speedy recovery :love:

Love, Suzy & Olive

I haven't been on in a while but i thought i would update on Armani.

He's doing GREAT! The ONLY issue he is having is he did lose most of his sight in his left eye. But besides that, he's 100%!! I REALLY thought he wouldn't bounce back from this...I will never forget coming home and seeing him the way he was but i am so blessed that he's perfectly fine! Thank you all SO much for you prayers...they did wonders on my baby!

So very glad to hear your little Armani is doing so well.
Prayers answered again!!:)

thank God:thumbup:I just saw this thread, I'm keeping you and Armani in my thoughts for a full recovery.

When I had my stroke back in Sept 08, Tigger did not want to leave my side cept for the stay at the hospital. I was out in the garage and Tiggy was waiting at the door for me. I went to pick him up (my right arm & hand is paralyzed from the stroke) ans dropped him on his head on the ceramic tile:eek:He just layed there for aboput 5 minutes without moving!I started screaming and felt so bad, I refused to pick him up again for fear I would drop him again. I took forever til I finally felt comfortable enough holding him again

This is great news that he is doing so much better:D

Yay! Prayers answered again!!!!! So happy for you:thumbup:!

I am so sorry that Armani isn't feeling well. Will be praying for a speedy recovery and no permanent damage! If you need anything or a friend to chat with do not hesitate to PM me! Will be anxiously awaiting an update on how he is doing! Hope today is a better day!

This is wonderful news to read. Little Armani is one tough little pup.
Bless his heart. I am so happy for you and of course your little guy
that's things are well on the mend.

Hugs,

So glad to hear Armani is doing well. He is a tough little one, and he has a strong, wonderful mommy.

Great to hear he's doing so well. I know I probably don't have to say this, but I will anyway. You were very, very lucky this time. Many, if not most, of these kinds of accidents don't turn out this well, and many are fatal. And I do hope you had your vet check him out for any not so obvious injuries, as these can cause major problems down the road. Good Luck in the future, I know you will be more careful. And don't take this personally, I just know from experience (yes, I sat down on my dog too) and want people to be aware of this type of accident. If even one dog can be spared by someone seeing this thread, then that is good thing.

I know you had him to the vet's, sorry for repeating, but it is very important especially in cases where there are no apparent injuries.

Yay! Little baby is better! XOXOXO

Thank you everyone! I really am blessed because it could have been SO much worse! And yes I ABSOLUTELY followed up with his vet & will continue to do so! We may run into problems later on down the road as a result of this, but I'm not even going to worry about any of that right now =) I do hope people read this and realize just how careful you really have to be with our little fur baby's! Armani is such a little fighter and I really am so proud to be his mommy<3 I LOVE this site! you guys are AMAZING!
