He told us what we did was the best thing at the time. He checked her out, and she was fine. He said it was apparent, that it was only a pulled muscle or strain. No bones broken or out of line. I do remember the crying. Sometimes when Pepper would simply lay down, she would let out just one LOUD YELP, but that was all. We watched her very close, and each day she got better. Good Luck with your baby. It's true, they do love to play. |
Thank you! That makes me feel much better. When it happened last night it seemed to be because she was turning to "break". We have a small apartment so when she runs after the ball at 60 miles per hour she turns her body and kind of slides to keep from banging face first into the kitchen wall. I think that she did that on the side she had already injured and twisted it under her.
