2 yr. old Yorkie fell! HELPPP!! Yesterday, my yorkie fell and hit his head on the concrete outside of our house. He was crying at first and I noticed that his right eye was closing. He seemed a bit dazed at first and he kept shaking. Today he woke up and he seems normal. He is eating and drinking water, he went outside and my dad even took him for a walk, but he is not being the normal dog that we are used to seeing. His tail is down and when we talk to him he looks around as if he were trying to find something. Also I noticed that I whispered and talked to him on his right ear and he seemed bothered. He kept shaking his head and looking around. What should I do? I'm scared that maybe his eye or ears are damaged!! As i mentioned before, he walks normal and he even wanted to play with his toys but I just know that something is not right! Should we just wait it out? |
You really need to take your Yorkie to the Vet. Hoping and praying you get your pup to the Vet..Lynne |
If you think he is not acting normal, he needs to be seen by a vet. There is nothing we can do over the internet. |
Hi and welcome to YT. You should not wait, ever, if/when you see continuing symptoms following a head injury as that can mean brain swelling and even death if not addressed immediately. PLEASE get to a vet ASAP! |
PLEASE get this baby to your vet today. |

Please, a head injury in ANY living thing that has a brain, should be assessed by a medical professional immediately. That baby's brain could easily be swelling inside his skull, and if it continues to swell, you will at best, have permanent brain damage in your pup, at worse, seizures and death. ANY head injury that results in confusion, disorientation, dizziness, loss of consciousness, vomiting, unsteady gait, etc....need to be seen immediately by a medical professional. |
You have received excellent advice. Please take him to the vet. AND let us know how he is. |

Eager to know how things are going! |
He needs to see a vet asap |
Any update on this little one...? |
Just stopping in to see how this pup is doing! |

In an attempt to keep me from worrying myself to death, over something I have absolutely NO control over, so I can enjoy the rest of my Holidays without concerning myself over this unfortunate little baby, I am going to just tell me this was not real, that it was posted to get us riled up...especially when they have never bothered to return with so much as a "thank you", "kiss my a$$", "my dog has survived", etc. when people took time from their Holiday celebrations/company, to give suggestions for the best interest of the unfortunate pup..... |
Hopefully the poster saw all the replies in her email, quickly responded and got pup to a vet and is working hard to follow all veterinary advice (my fingers are crossed, choosing to be optimistic). And after the emotional trauma and shock wears down a bit we will get to hear an update which will take about a day or so to show up since she is a newbie with only one post. Doing the 'I hope there is no severe internal bleeding and permanent brain damage and that the dog will be okay' dance over here. I hope he made it to the vet, my best wishes are with him. |
Ok, if this was your skin child what would you do?? Seek medical help ASAP!! |
Tried to contact priscy8 by pm. Prayerfully priscy8 took the baby to a vet in time. |
Dog I love all the caring advice given on this forum. You have all done your job reaching out to help this poor person and their dog. No response could mean they are so overwhelmed with the situation at this time. I hope and pray this precious Yorke will be fine. It's all we can do. |
Ugh...yet another one. :( Kind of glad I missed it...I agonized for a few days over the last one and then the person came back yelling at me. SMH People are really something else. |
I also hope that this owner took their dog to the vet... asap! Sending positive thoughts for this poor little dear. |
dog Yorkies can be wiggly when held. I hope no one dropped this sweet dog. Some people don't hold them right or let kids hold them. So sad when people aren't extra careful. |

How about this one Judy. A very warm spring day so we only had the screen on our backdoor. Our dogs are supposed to be always supervised with company over and I went to the washroom hubby got distracted in the kitchen - our 6yr old male guest (whose parents were present and also distracted) the little boy decided to take Magic for a walk:eek: Luckily for us he walked Magic out into our fully fenced in backyard. And it was in one sense cute to see as Magic is used to walking calmly with my hand on his back and the little one whose head did not even come close to the height of Magics head was standing with his whole arm over my beastie. But I about died when I saw them out there alone. Mistakes with dogs do happen - but it surprises me that so few folks have any common sense whatsoever. |

Good luck! |
GRRRR. I get so frustrated when people come to this forum because they need help and then do not even have the courtesy to report back on the condition of their dogs. Good or bad, we are invested in these babies and it is so hard to wonder. It is possible something horrible happened and the owner is too distraught to get back to all of us but it still kills me. I promise to always come back and update the group if I am in need of this forum. Even if it means I have to take a butt-chewing when I do it. You have to take the good with the bad. |
On another forum I am a member of these type of people are called TROLLS. They are the ones that come once or twice and post something trying get everyone "in a dander" as my momma says and then just disappear. I wonder.....? |

Just an FYI for you: the rules of this forum to not allow us to call people trolls. You can find the rules in the General Yorkshire Terrier Discussion Forum....and troll is discussed under Section C, #1. It can be very exasperating when people do these things. |
