I would take her in for xrays to see if she has a injury. Poms are very delicate!!!

I am very fortunate that with all the animals I have had there never has been any problems with fractures, My present dogs are two Poms. One is very small and extremely active. She can jump on and off of the couches and my Queen bed. The other Pom is not at all interested in this exercise. She wants to be picked up and placed. She will not jump, she slides off. I have always followed this rule with all my pets, cats and dogs. Make it a practice to run your hands over their body and legs. If you do not have any pain response, do it again with a bit more pressure. Please use your hands on the body and your fingers on the legs. Your pet will let you know where the hurt is, in this case I advise you see your vet as soon as possible. Not attending to a fracture can cause it to not heal properly. Remember, the ribs are very small and this is another area of concern. Sometimes it is only a slight knock in playing and will heal but with a tiny puppy, I would be greatly concerned. Best of healing. RR
