I took her out, etc. Well, finally, at 3 am, I picked her up and looked all over her and found her paw swollen to 2 TIMES its normal size. I then saw the rubberband. I took it off, and held her and kissed her. I was so freaked out! I thought she might end up losing that foot (I heard of that happening before). So, I stayed up the rest of the morning waiting to see if the swelling went down.
She is ok now, but boy, am I PISSED OFF at that little heathen! (She enjoys squashing bugs, if that tells you anything)

oh my...good thing you figured it out in time...i would be really pissed off too...argh!

she may need to see a counselor...they say kids that torture animals may turn into serial killers...but who knows...ahaha
