| C2 Fractureee We have 2 Yorkies, Ava and Prince. They are both 1.5 years young. I researched and read so much before we got them. We are so in love with them. Ava fell off the couch and fractured her C2 vertebrae. She is a very sick little dog. She is 3.6 pounds. Has anyone else experienced anything like this? The ER vets were awesome and have been a great support. Our regular vet is super busy and we are going to see them 2morrow AM. Her pain meds don't seem to be enough. Each day she seems worse to me. I understand how serious this injury is and was just wondering when I might see some improvement which would give me hope. I know she shouldn't have been on the couch. We had people over and I was in the back of the house getting ready to go to my daughter's graduation. I am so sad. Ava is the nicest dog I have ever had. She is acting so stoic and it breaks my heart for her. |

| I'm sorry. The pain med probably isn't enough, but another possibility for her being so quiet is that some pain meds have sedation as a side effect. Is she crying, whining, panting, etc.? Have you thought about going to a specialty hospital to get specialists on the case? It sounds pretty serious and that may be the best option for your pup.

| I urge you with everything in my Soul to get this baby to a specialist, it may in fact be a fracture, but neuro damage can be happening. You may risk paralysis if not seen STAT/NOW! Please keep us updated on her.

Also let your regular vet know about her progress. Consider hand feeding her as well to avoid strong neck flexion.
