Did the doctor prescribe anything for pain at all? It would seem like that would be a logical step for someone with a cracked rib. If not, I would probably call and ask if they can give her something for pain. Sometimes, you have to ask them to prescribe or they won't volunteer to write a prescription for it. But you have to be the advocate for your furbaby, just like you do for your real children. And occasionally, that means you have to be pushy and ask for things, rather than sit back and just let them do as they please with your beloved little girl.
I had to ask for extra pain meds for our little girl this last week as she seemed to be having a hard time with pain after she was spayed. The doctor gave us 4 pills which covered about 1 day and we called and said we needed more, that she was shivering a lot, which the doctor said was from pain. So they gave her 10 more pills and now she seems to be over the worst of it finally.
Btw, you might try some Rescue Remedy for a few days to calm her down when she's around your husband. It sort of resets their brains to react calmly rather than anxiously with the person who inflicted the injury on them. |
