Thank you all for your concerns and well wishes. Maddie is doing much better. She is able to walk around to eat and go out to the bathroom. I don't believe she is in much pain now but she is definitely not back to her old self yet. I think the muscle relaxers make her tired which is good. I had her crated the first couple of days while she was on the morphine but now she is resting in her favorite little bed. I had to block off the stairs and put blocks up in front of the furniture so she won't try to jump on them. My vet said that it should heal if we are careful with her and that she won't require surgery unless it ruptures. She said no more stairs for Maddie ever.
On the bright side, Maddie loves being treated like the little princess that she is. I have been letting her come on walks with my other 3 babies but she rides in the stroller. Yeah, I'm finally getting some use out of it. She also enjoys being packed up and down the stairs and is soaking up all the extra attention everyone is giving her.
I just hope that she gets better and this isn't a reoccuring problem for her. I am to take her back to the vet in 2 weeks so she can see how she is doing. |
