2.8 lb Yorkie Broke his Ulna & Radius in Left leg - Page 3 - YorkieTalk.com Forums

GreysenElla · 03-21-2010, 01:34 PM

WOW Thank you everyone for your kinds words, thoughts, and prayers. It is so nice to have a community here that understands how special the Yorkie breed is to one another and really help out when we are in need. You all have offered great advice and collumns that I have read. Thankfully, Greysen has been a trooper getting through the weekend. He has been sleeping a ton and been carried everywhere we go. (thankfully we have two strollers that he rotates to and from so he can follow us where ever we go

) The vet gave us pain medicine and also an antibiotic to get through the weekend, so no infection should occur. (Boy did those amputation stories scare me!) Like I said, Monday at 11am is the BIG day! At this point, we are going to do whatever it takes to take care of him, even if that does mean getting in debt. He is my baby boy and it kills me to see him in pain. I will keep everyone updated and tomorrow say a little prayer. Thank you again and I will be in touch!!!! x0x0x0

Lauren, again sending positive thoughts and prayers for little Greysen today.

Also, I know I am going off subject and hope you do not mind.... Just wanted to share the link to the Cincinnati Yorkie Meet-Up Group (that Lauren has taken over and coordinates) to anyone that is interested. You can see more pictures of sweet little Graysen on this link.

Thank you very much for everyone's support with my little angel. We just got home from the surgeon and he goes in tomorrow for surgery to fix his leg. $2200!!! Let that be a lesson how fragile teacup yorkies can really be. My little guy has had a rough week. Just keep him in your thoughts tomorrow as even the surgeon said they are risks with anesthesia since he only weighs 2lbs

I will keep your baby inmy thoughts and prayers. I feel badly that this happened . Accidents are sso easy for thse tiny yorkies to become hurt. Perhaps when he gets all better and well , you might want to consider buying doggie stairs for Graysen. I certainly hope tommorow goes well .

Lauren I am so sorry some of the responses were so negative to you. If the people responding that way knew you they would know how much you love your little boy and that you will do what is best for him. I pray for a smooth surgery with No complications and that his leg heals perfectly. please keep us updated!

Lisa and Pic · 03-22-2010, 12:39 PM

Thanks for the update and we will continue with the prayers and positive thoughts for sweet Greysen as he has surgery tomorrow.

Good luck to you and you're little guy tomorrow! I'm sure everything will go smoothly. Surgery really is the best thing for these types of injury, but it is expensive and yes a lesson to be learned to be extra extra careful with the little ones, even though accidents can happen so easily.

He'll probably won't be himself for a day or two but after that they typically are fine! Sometimes the 3rd day after surgery is tough on them too. That's when the anesthesia is wearing off. The hardest part is keeping them confined after the surgery I find, especially if they are a puppy. You'll notice how much less pain they are in after a few days and it will make you feel so much better. It gets easier as the time passes too. Also, I got the stairs for my puppy too, but they are the six step ones. I thought it was the right size for my bed (even though I probably won't let her up on it), but they are way too high and they scare the crap out of me. I think they look way too dangerous for my little one and the step width is so small. I might have to find a different type of just get some really big pillows to put down around the sofa/chairs if she decides to jump up on them. Anyways, hope all goes well and keep us updated on how your little guy is doing.

You do realize that there are NO teacup yorkies, don't you?

Isn't "teacup" yorkies just a term/word anyways to describe smaller than breed standards. Those being yorkies less than 4 lbs? I don't understand why everyone says there is no such thing when really it's just a term/word and everyone knows there are yorkies out there that are below the breed starndard of 4-7 pounds. Don't see the big deal using the word teacup to associate it with those Yorkies smaller than breed standards. Maybe I'm wrong though? People will breed smaller than standard size yorkies and if people want to buy them then they have every right too IMO. Sure there are more health issues with smaller yorkies than the breed standard and some may not consider it "ethical" or right, but there's no stopping those who breed smaller than "standard" size and these little guys deserve just as much love as those that are breed standard size. Anyways sorry for bringing this thread off topic with my thoughts..
