Mexican influencer Fernanda Blaz has shared a distressing update regarding her dog's health following a frightening fall from her Mexico City apartment balcony on June 3.

One of the worst days of my life

A passerby walking her own dogs immediately came to Banana's aid, alerting Blaz to the accident. The content creator, 36, rushed her pet to an emergency veterinary visit. Specialists determined that Banana had not suffered any broken ribs. Subsequent clinical studies confirmed that her internal organs, including her heart and lungs, were unharmed despite the significant height of the fall.

Blaz recounted the incident during a TikTok live stream, explaining she was in her living room when Banana suddenly ran onto the balcony and jumped. She believes the dog was reacting to other dogs outside. Blaz admitted she was in shock and couldn't react as quickly as she wished to help her pet immediately after the fall. Banana has since been administered pain relievers for any discomfort.

Give it follow-up, don't just stick with what happened now, better to prevent.

— Internet userAdvising continued medical monitoring for the dog.

Online, many followers offered support and advised Blaz to continue with regular veterinary check-ups, emphasizing the importance of monitoring for any delayed repercussions. Suggestions included consulting a neurologist for ongoing care. In response to the incident, viewers also recommended implementing protective measures on balconies and windows to prevent future accidents.

Take it to a neurologist, continuous check-ups because there may be repercussions later.
