Marcus and I had a great lunch today at an outside restaurant. As we were leaving, I was putting him in his carrier. A motorcycle started and he jumped out of my hands and the carrier. He fell about 4 1/2 feet and landed on his side. He cried for 6 seconds like I have never heard him cry. He was screaming. I put him down after I picked him up and he started running away. I caught him and he was walking/running fine without a limp. I just happened to be a block from our vets. So I drove to the vets. Since it is lunch hour 12-2, the vet was not in. I told the vet tech what happened and she did a preliminary look over him. She doesn't think anything is broken, but she called the dr to let her know what was going on. The vet is on her way back to the office to look over Marcus. He is acting fine and even trying to play, but I am still worried. They told me to leave him there that way they can check him out completely and do any x-rays they made need. I am just kicking myself for not having a better hold on him. They will call me as soon as they know anything. This is the first time he's had an accident, I'm just scared. Four 1/2 feet is a big drop especially for one that isn't even 2 lbs. Thank you for your prayers.
