Hey guys.... I have Trigger home now. He has been at the vet all day. He had to go under anesthesia and get something done to his leg and have a cast put on. He is hypoglycemic, and the vet says that more than likely the seizure is what caused him to rip the ligaments in his leg, which made the whole ordeal 5x's worse for him. They took a million xrays, and the only problem is that right at the bottom of his left paw the ligaments are almost ripped in half. The vet says it is a very easy injury to heal, but he needed this cast to keep it healing in place. I also got nutrical for his hypoglycemia and was instructed to make sure Trigger eats every 3-4 hours. It cost an arm and a leg for everything including the emergency visit last night, and all the stuff today... I was worried that myhusband would be upset that I spent more on vet bills than I did on Trigger himself, but surprisingly when he got home from working out of town this afternoon the only thing he said was how sorry he was I had to go through it all alone, and he he has been holding Trig since then.
I have attached some pics of my little guy with his new PINK cast on. I can't believe they didn't have another color. Lol. Thank you all for your thoughts an prayers, hopefully everything heals ok & he is able to get the cast off soon. |
