Post traumatic stress in Yorkie
 

On Sunday my baby Elizabeth Victoria broke away from me and ran in the street and she hit the fender of a moving car. She was thrown a little and rolled and laid in the street. My daughter got to her 1st and picked her up, had an abraison on the inside of her leg. Was scared but nothing was broken, thank the Good Lord. Took her for a walk to see if she limped or anything all seemed fine but wanted to be held which is unusual for her. Monday she seem lethargic but ate and drank some. Tuesday was more lethargic so I took her to the pet clinic, told me she was sore but would be fine in a few days. Later that day she began vomiting up whatever she ate and had diarhea which was black in color. I know that could mean internal bleeding. Took her to a regular vet today. They ran blood test which were normal and took x-rays which they will have the results tomorrow. Said she should be ok in a couple of weeks if not I am to return her to the vet. She is only 13 months and VERY active. Her just laying there is not like her. Is this normal after such a accident such as this? I lost my husband 2 years ago and last fall I adopted her from a rescue group. Elizabeth has put activity in my life after my husbands passing. I can't have any thing happen to her. Any advise would be greatly appreciated:4lc:

I wouldn't think it would be normal behavior, but I have never had something like that happen. It could be that her leg is very sore where it was injured and it will probably take a good while for it to heal. Let me know how the x-rays turn out. Good luck to you. Lots of babying always helps, too.:)

Bless your heart, happy to hear she has no serious injuries. I am sorry to hear about the loss of your husband, but you have a new little one to help your heart heal. If you trust your vet I would go by what they tell you unless something in her changes. I would think the scare of being hit would cause her some issues, also if she is a rescue then it is hard to know what she has been through. My prayers are with you and your baby.

She was hit by a car and you didn't take her to the vet? Or am I reading this wrong?

sick yorkie
 

She wasnt hit by the car. She ran into the car. Got xray report back and she has severe internal injuries that are to extensive to repair. She is being put down tomorrow. This is the longest night I think I have spent for a couple of years. I am going to get another little yorkie in a few weeks. :cry:

If they are too extensive to repair why is she being left like that until tomorrow? If this is a money issue, please PM me and I will try to help you get her some help with a rescue.

I am so very sorry! Truely at a loss for other words. My heart just hurts for you.

Please take her help! If there are specialist and rescues that can help, please let them.

I am so sorry to hear about your little one.
My heart is breaking for you.
I will keep you and your furbaby in my prayers.

my baby
 

my baby died during the night. It was not a money issue, it was a work issue. I have to work and couldn't get off yesterday

A work issue led you to leave a dog to suffer? I don't get it. Some things are best left unsaid and unknown.

RIP Elizabeth

That is just horrible and that's all I'm going to say!

This is so tragic, this poor baby, hope she didn't suffer. She was so young.

This is too tragic to be believed!! really

Im sorry for your loss

I could of gone all day without hearing that the baby just suffered on its own and died! ALONE?

This is truly heartbreaking, maybe you should seriously think about not getting another dog.

Meaning she was hit by a car. Whether she ran into it or it hit her is moot. She was hit by a car. That tiny thing, impacted a moving vehicle.

She should have been taken to the vet AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED, not taken for a walk (seriously????). I cannot even begin to express how I feel about this situation... I am pretty sure it would get me banned.

All I have to say to this is: Don't get another dog if you aren't aware enough to realize that being HIT BY A CAR means a trip to the vet IMMEDIATELY. :thumbdown

RIP Elizabeth

I totally agree...if my dog "ran into a car" and was acting differently than normal, then you bet your bippy I would be at the vet ASAP.

I totally agree Furbaby Friend. I just don't know what to say about this except that I am flabbergasted. Poor baby did NOT die from post traumatic stress. She dies from extreme internal injuries and apparently bled to death.

I agree. This is just too upsetting.
Rest in Peace, sweet pup.

Please don't get another dog. You have demonstrated you don't know how to properly care for one right now. The fact that you did not gently lift your baby into a firm dog bed or basket to stabilize it and go for immediate neuro/orth exam, x-rays and pain medication plus some other statements made speaks volumes about your abilities right now to take adequate responsibility for a pet. Take time, learn all you can and spend some time in the Sick and Injured Forum. You will learn so much from those posts.

Omg, I cannot believe what I just read from the OP, That poor little baby must have suffered :( Elizabeth should have been taken to a vet immediately! Rest in peace sweet baby girl, I'm sorry you had to suffer :(

:( poor dog.

Yes, poor dog. I missed in the orig. post that she was walked and not taken to the vet immediately until Furbaby Friend pointed that out and when I reread that post carefully, it just made me sicker than I was. Serious internal injuries and you are being forced to go for a walk, etc., instead of critical care. Poor, poor baby. Thanks, FF, for being pointed about it!

This is tragic that the dog was not taken to the ER immediately after impacting the car,

She was not taken to a doctor for another couple days despite showing symptoms that something was terribly wrong,

She was taken to an incompetent clinic and later vet. I find it incredible that neither the clinic nor the vet would have suspected massive internal injuries....or put off reading xrays for an entire day,

Worst of all, Elizabeth was made to suffer longer and die alone.

Nanny, I strongly recommend you do not bring another pup into your life when you cannot make time or call on a friend or family member to get your pet help when it needs it most. :(

RIP Elizabeth Victoria

I settled for pointed when I wanted to be OH so much more... What the OP did is just... just... I better stop typing since I like my membership. :thumbdown:thumbdown:thumbdown

I mean I've seen threads where owners are neglectful of medical care for their pups, but nothing as OBVIOUS as this. I mean how can you WATCH your tiny dog impact a car and NOT rush it to the vet???? Seriously, I don't know what is wrong with people. :mad::mad::mad::thumbdown:thumbdown:thumbdown

This person should NEVER own another dog in my opinion. If you don't have enough common sense to realize when a vehicle that weighs a ton (literally) HITS your pup that is five months and weighs what MAYBE 6lbs could cause SEVERE trauma and requires and immediate vet visit... yeah going to stop typing again.

:thumbup:

This is just sick!:(
RIP poor baby!

And she\'s already posting looking for another pup?!?!:eek:

Different things could have been done for sure but having just lost a husband myself, I couldn\'t imagine losing my furbaby too. Probably enough has been said. No?
