just talked to grandparents who were at the vet with him. They said the vet was very thorough. He said his lungs sounded good and his heart sounded good and his tongue was pink which was good. He said he was probably in shock and tonight is very critical to keep him warm. They have him in a box with hot water bottles with a blanket over the box to keep the heat in. The vet wants to see him in the morning. The vet said it would of been difficult to tell about internal bleeding.....he felt the xrays would not show much.
I am confused but it was a vet hospital. I am surprised they did not do more. Grandpa said he thought he barely stepped on him and was not sure what part of him his foot came down on. He is so tiny !!! 1 pound. My son , Nick said there was blood coming from his nose and mouth and he was not breathing. Nick did mouth to mouth and sucked the blood out somewhat and he started breathing and they rushed him to the 1st vet then the 2nd.
I still wonder if they should go to another vet. I am not clear on if this was a true emergeny hospital or just called a "vet hospital" !!!
I still would appreciate knowledge or opinions. I trust all of you and have always learned so much. They just got him wednesday and are truly in love with him... we all are!!! Grandma and Nick were playing with him (Carter) on the floor and grandpa got up to go to the bathroom.... he ran after him and got under his foot/step... grandpa did not know he was near him.... they are devasted!! |
