baby yorkie | 11-15-2010 08:35 AM | Pulled Muscle Has anyone had a baby that pulled a muscle?
Tia started shaking yesterday morning. I thought she was having her first "cold" moment with the weather changing, so I put both Ally and Tia on a sweater. She continued to shake after it warmed up a little. I noticed that she wouldn't sit down. She started to, but then stood back up each time. She was standing and closing her eyes like she was sleeping standing up. I knew she wasn't constipated because she had already gone. I gave her a warm bath and made sure she didn't have anything wrong with her bottom. Within an hour, I was rubbing her and when I reach her right leg, she yelped. So now I thought she dislocated something in her hip or knee. She wouldn't let me turn her over to check her, so I called my neighbor. After both of us rubbing and gently pressing, her pain was coming from right in front of her right hip. She was spayed on 9/11. She stilled shivered (because we were probing) so I gave her the last of the pain pills I had from spaying at about 1:20 pm. She would not lay down unless I helped her and she was not interested in food or following me around. She finally was feeling better by 5 pm and today, it's like it never happened. I was going to take her in to see a vet, but she seems fine. I gently touched the sensitive area and it doesn't seem to hurt her. I am not, however, pressing firmly so I don't irritate it any more. Has this happened to your baby? |
