Sandy Broke His Leg We went visiting fiance's cousin on Saturday to bring them our wedding invitation. They've a big golden retriever which was so happy to see us. Fiance's brother was holding Sandy so that the big dog wouldn't hurt him. Who knew Sandy decided to jump down and hit the concrete floor. My heart stopped for a sec when I saw that happened... I knew it's not good. He was crying in pain :( We brought him to the vet and found out his right front leg is broken. He has a cast on now but we're bringing him to our vet tomorrow to see if he needs a surgery. It breaks my heart to see him in pain. We thought we're going to swim in the lake and enjoyed the sun this weekend but it turned out to be a horrible one for us. |
i'm so sorry to hear that Sandy has a broken leg. :( its best to get him checked out by an orthopedic surgeon so the break can be evaluated for surgery. In most cases, surgery is the best solution. do you know which bones are broken? |
I'm so sorry to hear about Sandy - it's so hard to see them in pain. Sandy will be in my prayers for a speedy recovery. |
Poor little Sandy. Let us know what the vet says!!!! |
So, so sorry to hear Sandy is injured. It's awful to see them in pain, that's for sure. Prayers to your little guy for quick healthy healing. Hugs...to Sandy for me & Zhoie...XXOOXXOO. |
I am sorry to hear about Sandy. I hope he has a speedy recovery. :aimeeyorkYorkieProud:aimeeyork :pIF YOU ARE HAVING A BAD DAY, JUST LOOK IN THE FACE OF YOUR YORKIE AND EVERYTHING WILL BE OKAY. |
Poor Sandy! Sending well wishes and prayers for a speedy recovery. |
Lola broke her front leg a couple of years ago. The vet recommended surgery and consulted an orthopaedic surgeon who also recommended it. It was going to cost over $3000.00. They said it might heal in the cast but we would have to be very careful with her. There was also the possibility that the surgery wouldn't work due to the size of the bones and the fact that such little ones don't always have the best blood supply for healing. We decided to try the cast and had xrays done periodically to check for healing and it worked. Her leg is fine and has not been a problem since. |
Thanks everyone. :) The surgery went well last night. My fiance and I were really nervous before the surgery. Our vet is great and we trust Sandy's in good hands. We were told to come back after an hour. When we're back to the clinic, we saw Sandy slowly came around from the anaesthetic. It was a relieve to know everything was fine. He has 2 pins on his bones and he'll have the cast on for at least 6 weeks. The vet told me he also did other checkup on Sandy and extracted 6 of his puppy teeth. My baby's next to me now and he's still trying to get used to the cast - he was biting it in the morning. I hope the pain will go away soon. I really miss the happy, jumpy little Sandy. We were warned that it won't be easy to keep him from running and jumping while he's recovering. |
Awww. Poor baby! I hope Sandy has a speedy and uneventful recovery. |
Pool lil fella! Hope his recovery goes well |
Poor guy, I'm glad the surgery went well and I hope his recovery for the next 6 weeks goes well also. |

so sorry about Sandy. Hope he heals well. Give him big hugs and kisses. |
Sandy sends his :love: to everyone. Thank you so much for your support. He's getting better today. He started playing with his toys last night. It's 35°C here and he's hiding under our bed to keep himself cool. We've another appointment with our vet for follow-up later today. |
Glad Sandy is feeling a little better today!!! Good luck at your follow up:) |
Thanks, Jersey Boy :) Sandy's definitely getting better. He's back to himself - playful, eating his kibbles, playing with his toys... We try to stop him from running and jumping but he seems to run faster with his 3 legs! |
Just checking in on Sandy. How's he feeling? |
He's doing so much better this week. He's playing but sometimes I can see he's tired walking on his 3 legs. 4 more weeks to go before the vet removes the cast. |
Don't worry 4 weeks will fly by! Take a look at my albums, I have pics of jersey with his cast. |
2 Attachment(s) Aww... Jersey is so adorable!! Here's Sandy... the day he fell down.. I still remember how he looked that afternoon. It breaks my heart whenever I think of that sad face. The other one is him with the cast on... and he's sleeping on our bed now at night - because daddy said so. :rolleyes: Attachment 322277 Attachment 322278 |
My heart breaks for little Sandy. We wish you well Sandy, you sure are a little cutie pie!! Enjoy the time in the bed with Mommy and daddy they will take good care of you!!!:) |
Oh, know! Sandy will be in my prays. |
Just checking in on Sandy. How's he doing? I'm sure he is just fine except for that pesky little cast on his leg. We wish him a speedy recovery!:) |
I am so sorry your little Sandy broke his leg, but glad that the surgery went well. I am sure he will be fine after this! I have fostered three pups recently who had broken legs and all of them have recovered well! One thing I want to caution you about is letting him sleep in your bed while this other leg is healing. If he jumps off of your bed, he is at risk of re-injuring the leg or breaking another leg! This happened to another YTer some time back....her pup broke the other front limb. When they have a broken leg already, they don't have that limb to brace them so they are jumping in an odd fashion. Please, please be very careful in letting him on your bed or other places where he could jump. I know it is difficult not to hold them and love on them when they are sick and/or injured; but we need to think about accidents! |

He got a lot of attention from our guests and the guests who stayed in the same hotel where we had our reception. Here he is at the wedding, taken by a friend :) Quote:

Congrats on your wedding!!! Sandy is a little doll!! I'm sure he had a blast at your wedding, your guests must have gone crazy over him. That's so nice that Sandy was able to share your special day. So glad everything is going well with his recovery and good luck at the next check up.:) |
Sandy is precious! :) |
What a cutie. Sounds like he is recovering nicely. hen Pixie had her Lp surgery recently, I would let her on the bed only in a crate, or I bought an xpen for guinea pigs and used that on the bed so she had a little more room but couldn't get off the bed. |
Aww.. Sandy is adorable! I'm glad to hear that he is healing well... |
