| Sugar got a concussion The end of the story is thank God he is okay but I had the worst morning of my life today. My daughter was on the computer and had Spike and Sugar on the seat behind her back. She isn't supposed to do that and trust me, she learned her lesson. Sugar fell off and apparently landed on his head on the tile floor. He couldn't walk straight and his head was hanging crooked to the side. We rushed him to the vet and by the time we got there he was starting to hold his head better but still couldn't walk straight and just seemed out of it. His vitals were all good and he was steadily improving and becoming responsive. By the time we left he was walking fine and was eating bits of a dog cookie and giving me kisses. The vet said with his vitals so strong and his steady improvement that he wasn't worried about internal bleeding and he felt sure he was going to be fine. They gave him a steroid shot in case there was any internal swelling. This happened right as I was waking up. I hadn't even brushed my teeth yet. Trust me, I was quite a sight at the vet's office- crying and telling him how much mommy loves Sugar and about the green beans and chicken he was going to get and promising ice cream, and more crying. I'm sure I looked like a complete lunatic. He is fine now as far as walking and responding. I fed him french fries which I never do but he deserved them and I'm just so happy to see the appetite. He just wants me to hold him but if I put him down he'll jump on my leg and wag his tail. I have never been so happy to see a tail wag. It is so scary how quick a freak accident can happen.

| Thanks everyone. I was so scared I was afraid I'd pass out. I don't know what I'd do without Sugar so he had better live forever. He just threw up the fries I gave him so I guess that was a bad idea. He does seem back to his old self though, just a bit tired.

Donating YT 30K Club Member | Glad he is doing better. I can imagine how terrified you must have been. Did the vet say anything about a mild concussion with the sleepyness and throwing up? Poor baby is probably just worn out and the fries didn't set well.

Furbutts = LOVE Donating Member Moderator | Oh, Nikki! I'm so glad everything turned out okay, how scary! I would say, if there was any day that a little fella deserved a french fry - today was certainly it! I'd practically give him a Big Mac! Give him kisses from Ann, Marcel and Wylie.
