Ally was lifeless! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

baby yorkie · 08-27-2011, 04:09 PM

I had a terrible scare yesterday morning. I was walking around the Family Room, while Tia and Ally were laying on the couch. I put steps up to the couch so they can get up and down. Ally is a squirrel fanatic and just loves them, so she is always on the watch for them...no matter where she is. I heard both girls startle (bells on their collars) and I turned to see a squirrel on the fence. Both girls jumped to their feet and headed for the steps to get down. Tia was at the door within seconds, but Ally was nowhere to be found. I called her and she didn't come. I found her lifeless behind the coffee table! I called her and she didn't move. I paniced and couldn't breath or even move...ready to faint and throw up all over the floor! I moved her soft pillow bed close to her and gently put her in it, got dressed and rushed her to the vet, crying the whole way! She finally lifted her head when we walked in. Well, after an examination, xrays, and a steroid shot, my baby girl is fine. Ally had gone into shock and even her little tail was limp! It took all day yesterday for her to recover, but today she is 90% her normal little 3lb self. I'm guessing that Tia must have bumped her off the couch. The vet thinks she landed on her back. I've never been so upset and thankful in all my life! I love my girls!

Oh, girl, that story scared me to death just reading it. I'll bet you just panicked inside - I know I would. Thank God you got her right in being being cautious in how you handled and transported her and she is going to be okay. Sounds like she had quite a fall and is a very blessed little girl to be okay! Whew! I'll be your nerves are still zizzing. I'm so happy for this great ending to an awful story!

When kaos was a baby a matress fell on him. It was a freak accident. From what my dad told me (he was with him) kaos was in the exact same state as your girl. He was only 2lbs, and layed there lifeless, my dad gave him cpr and he came back around. The vet gave him steriods as well and he was back to himself a few days later. It was the scariest day of my life as well, I know EXACTLY how you felt. Thankfully Ally was as lucky as my little guy was...and I hope she recovers fully soon!

Thank you. Ally never yelped or showed any pain when she fell. She did not make a sound until dinner time last night. She walked slow and a little hunchbacked, but seems to be ok today. Her tail finally went up this morning. Her personality is just a little off today though. She wants to play, but doesn't. I'm keeping a close eye on her and we're not picking her up or rubbing too hard as to not give her any pain. I didn't get anything done yesterday after our tragic accident. I was a nervous wreck and a headache that wouldn't stop pounding! I love my girls to death! I can't imagine not having her here! Tia would miss her sister too!

I am very glad little Alley is ok , that was very scary .

yorkiemini · 08-27-2011, 05:54 PM

OMG

They would have had to take both of us to the emergency room! You did a great job getting her to the vet -- did you have all your clothes on when you got there

yorkieusa · 08-27-2011, 06:53 PM

What a scare you had. So glad she is improving.

Lizzie07 · 08-27-2011, 07:00 PM

Sounds like she must have a heck of a headache or just hurt all over from the impact of hitting the floor so hard. Kind of like being in a carwreck. I hope that she will feel alot better over the next few days.

OMG

How scarey!
I am so glad your little one is doing ok.

baby yorkie · 08-28-2011, 04:11 AM

Ally is still doing well, but has become super timid. To answer your question about me being dressed....yes, I did throw on some clothes, but not sure if everything matched or not. Hair was not brushed; it was a frizzy, curly mess. No makeup either. The vet's office must have thought I was homeless! lol I am so glad she is ok; I really was out of my mind and don't want to go thru that again! Thank you for thinking of her!
