1lb yorkie swan dives off 3 story balcony
 

I had just bought my brand new [COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]baby[/COLOR][/COLOR] girl Isabella Rose about a week before this had happened. We had her for about a week, and I hadn't baby proofed the balcony yet. We had never had thought of her jumping off the balcony. Well to my horror, she decided to jump off the balcony for a [COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]bug[/COLOR][/COLOR]http://kona.kontera.com/javascript/l...rey_loader.gif
. She fell 3 stories into a bush and onto some pine straw. I had really thought I had lost her for good. My boyfriend ran and got her and all she did was scream. We drove 115mph to the Vet ER cause it was 9pm on a Sunday. After an ungodly amount of time at the ER and a CT, full body X-Ray we find out that nothing is wrong with her. No breaks, no hair line fractures, or even sprains. She was on some pain [COLOR=green ! important][COLOR=green ! important]meds[/COLOR][/COLOR] for a couple of days just to make sure she didn't hurt any. I had thought for a few days after the accident that she might of had brain damage, but the vet said to give it time. For the first 3 days after the fall she would only walk backwards, I have no clue why and neither did the vet. But thank god after 3 days she started walking normal again. Now she's perfectly healthy and even loves to lay out on the balcony, which is properly baby proofed now with plenty of extra fencing.

Walking backwards is a sign of brain injury so keep a close eye on her as she may not be out of the woods just yet.

oh my, I know what you were going through... my little mcdreamy fell just a ft to the floow, and knocked unconcious. stayed overnight, came too, but when he came home, he was walking backwards as well. very scary, and yes, almost a year later, it HAS affected him, (mentally) i think. but, hes alive and ok. be careful please.

Whew! Your story gave me the chills!! I am glad it had a good ending!

Extra hugs from me to your little one! :hug:

Keep an eye on your little "super girl"!!
