Puppy fell off bed?

[Anonymous]

Be gentle- I'm a new doggy mama. We tried crate training and 9 week puppy cried all night so for the past week she's been sleeping between our heads. Last night my poor baby fell on the flor. She didn't yelp and allowed me to exam her with no yelping or issues. She cuddled up and went right back to sleep.

Today she seems totally fine. No limping, crying, eating and drinking well. Her pupils are the same size, her gums are pink and her belly is soft...

No need to call the vet, right?

My 9 week old baby fell off the bed too. They will all be ok.

She's fine. Dogs are much more resilliant (sp?) than we are.

Once I was sitting on an L-shaped couch with my ass on one section of the L and my feet up on the other side of the L. The dog stood up in my lap, walked down my legs, and then fell to the floor around my shins. I was terrified, but she totally pulled a Taylor Swift and shook it off.

Is it a large breed? You do know that if you start with this puppy sleeping "on your heads" that is where he will stay, ad finitum?

I suggest crate

Also my 3 week old baby flipped off the bed and landed face first on her head. She was fine. Still is 8 years later.

Sorry op, I'm sure you feel awful. My puppy fell off the table at a similar age years ago. I panicked and brought her in to be checked out. She was fine. I'm always overly cautious with my dog though. And I don't see the problem letting the puppy sleep with you, I loved that and mine still sleeps with me.

Our dog sleeps with us in our bed. Works fine.

She's fine!!

I foster and last week my tiny chihuahua foster pup wiggled out of my arms while I was carrying her down the back steps, fell to the ground, got up, peed, and ran happily around the yard.

They're resilient. If she's not limping or doing anything concerning, she'll be okay! And good for you, letting her sleep in bed. Crate training is incredibly useful and definitely something you want to work on, but puppies are used to sleeping with mom and siblings, and being alone all night can be really rough. Feed her in the crate and use it for short periods when you're home but busy. Give her a kong or fun toy, and she'll learn to like it.

I like my dogs on the bed, but as an FYI, they can break things that way. Btdt.

My 2 year old rescue fell off the bed once - tried rolling over for a belly rub and went off the edge of the bed. She was fine.

Later on the dog will have rubbed against telephone poles, rolled in dead birds and stepped in his pee. Unless you wash the dog alot I would not train him that sleeping in your bed is okay. But that's just me.

+1! My dog loves to run and have all sorts of dirty fun. She is not sleeping in our bed, but she is loved and spoiled in many ways! Washing her often isn't an option because it will dry out her skin.
