i've seen dogs with horrible breaks that act like nothing is wrong. labs are famous for this. hahaha you know what they say, no brain no pain.

LOLLL Yeah do you notice if the boy dogs show more pain lolllllll

I know I am late to the game here...

but for future reference...

if your location means, Newburgh New York

This vet is open 24 hours and is right in New Windsor...

Veterinary Animal Hospital : Middletown, Newburgh, Goshen, New Windsor New York (NY) Veterinarian, Emergency Vet ? Flannery Animal Hospital

We used them for many years, they did countless surgeries and procedures on our dogs and were amazing.

There is also the emergency vet in Middletown

Animal Hospital | Newburg, New Windsor, Hudson Valley, NY | Orange County Animal Emergency Service

They are open nights, weekends, and holidays and are really great people... they are more costly because they are only an emergency hospital.

I see you mentioned finances being a concern of your husband's (as most do...lol!) but, can I just offer one very important recommendation for the future?

Pet Insurance or a Monthly Pet Savings Account for "future" vetting expenses is probably one of the most important things you can do for your baby!

Especially with toy breeds such as Yorkies, we all here on YT know too well what lies down the road for each of us at one time or another in our lil' ones lives. Don't be caught off guard when the unexpected happens. Especially with a young family of your own...it can really impact your finances if not better prepared. It is not unusual to expect a vetting to run in the hundreds if not thousands.

There are many insurance plans out there but, a friend & foster mom for YTNR did some research on the different ones out there and found 24 PetWatch to be great.

my friend has this one and LOVES them. She spent 50k in vet bills before getting it and raves about this insurance

also i have a friend whose dog has GME and she has the AKC insurance and they have covered all of the bills with neurology. She is almost maxed out though so make sure to check the max

just wanted to add an update. we went to the vet, his foot was broken in 3 bones leading to his toes. He is still there, they had to sedate him to put a cast on but the vet said no surgery and he should heal just fine being that he is so tiny. i cant wait to go back to get him!

[mojo]

Oh, poor baby, I'm so glad you took him in.

I'm so glad you took him in. What a homecoming!

glad you got him to the vet this morning for an x-ray, but sorry to hear that his little footie is broken. luckily a splint should do the trick and he'll be healed up in no time.

Thanks for updating. Sorry to hear about his little foot. I would get ramps/stairs or even footstools to train him to use.
