OMG! Cali is hurt! - YorkieTalk.com Forums

itsrox · 05-18-2007, 02:36 PM

I don't know what to do........I just got home from work and I look into Cali's kennel and there is blood everywhere! And she is falling all over the place and quite nfrantic and lame acting. So I rush up to her to see what is the matter and I see she has her collar stuck in her mouth! There are teeth all on the floor, hair everywhere, and she is so wild I can't get it out of her mouth! So I finally get a sane thought through and cutnthe collar off. My poor girl must've had that thing stuck for some time......all of the hair is rubbed off the side of her face (from her probably struggling with it all day) and her face is rubbed red raw!!! I want to cry. I don't know what to do...she isn't crying ir anything. Should I give her a bath and maybe put some Neosporin on it? Ugh, I am just sick. My beautiful girl's face is just a mess.............help us please.

Oh no!! Poor Cali; that's exactly what I'd do -- clean her up and put some neosporin on her. Also give her vet a call; expecially since she's lost some teeth. Stupid collar!!!

Keep us posted, let us know she's okay.

Yorkieluv · 05-18-2007, 02:41 PM

Oh my gosh!!!! Poor thing!! I couldn't believe what I was reading. I would take her to the vet. Did you say she lost her teeth? Is she a puppy?

itsrox · 05-18-2007, 02:42 PM

I'm praying they were puppy teeth. She's just 7 months. Oh I feel so bad for her. She has no hair where it is all red and raw. I wonder if the shampoo will sting her? God, I wish I hadn't left that dumb collar on.

JeanieK · 05-18-2007, 02:43 PM

I know it is too late for this information, but never put a collar on a yorkie. And I don't even leave a harness on mine when they are at home. If you do use a harness, a cat break away harness would be a better choice.

I think I would bath her and treat her wounds. Nesporine would be OK on her face cause she can't lick it off.

I hope she is better soon. I can imagine how awful you must feel.

red98vett · 05-18-2007, 02:44 PM

oh No...holy cow she's lucky she didn't strangle !!! Collars are very unsafe to leave on ....as are harnesses....I don't want you to feel worse but it's better to always have their necks free....Poor baby - I hope she feels better - I'd go for a vet check just to be safe and GET WELL Wishes to Cali

Itspuppyluv · 05-18-2007, 02:46 PM

Oh, I am so sorry this happened to her. I would call your vet. She could have injured her jaw or something on top of everything else. If it were me I would want them to see her, possibly give her something for pain.

Well, I won't from now on. She just always has the collar on because she is so friggin' small and she is constantly under foot and you can imagine how many times we've almost stepped on her. so her bell is attached to the collar. From now on, though, no collar when I am not home.

OMG SHIVERS WENT DOWN MY SPINE WHEN i READ THIS...I am sooooooo sorry for poor Cali. I would take her to a vet first and after that give her a bath. You are right...the shampoo will sting her. Tons of prayers coming your way...I hope she'll feel better soon.Please keep us posted.

yorkiemalt · 05-18-2007, 03:02 PM

Yorkie3 · 05-18-2007, 03:11 PM

Oh poor Cali and you! I hope she's feeling better now that the collar is off. Please have your Vet check her just to be safe. Sending well wishes to you Cali!!!

Poor baby. Hopefully she will feel better tomorrow.

Yorkiedaze · 05-18-2007, 04:05 PM

Oh your poor little girl. I'm so sorry to hear this and she must be quite traumatized, and I sure hope those teeth were baby teeth. I'd have a Vet. take a look at her now. Warm hugs to you and your baby.

YorkieShadow · 05-18-2007, 04:18 PM

Oh that poor baby, I hate to think about how she must of struggled to get that off her. We dont use any collars or harness on our Yorkies unless we are walking them. But we did that to a small kitten once because she was so little and we used a bell, she also got that stuck in her mouth and become a wild cat. we cut hers off too. Im sorry I hope your baby gets to feeling better real soon.
