today my 4 month old yorkie fell of the couch and hurt his leg. he limps but can still run and walk. hes not in any type of pain but doesn't want to do much but lay down please help me i am soo scared because he's never like this :(




Hi Ricardo
When puppies fall or hurt themselves, they often limp for a little while. It doesn't necessarily mean any great damage has been done.

However, Yorkies are tiny dogs and they have little bones that can break or be damaged pretty easily. If he limps for more than a few hours, or shows any signs of pain or stress (ie whimpering, panting, shaking etc.) then take him to a veterinarian right away for evaluation.

Best of luck!
