Yesterday was a rough day for my lil Lulu. First she got stepped on while we were getting ready to leave. She cried for a few mins & held up her paw. I was crazy scared, but my dh examined her, comforted her, and then put her down & she was fine. She seemed to favor that paw a little, but in a few mins she was 100% back to normal.
Then, at my Dad's house that afternoon, she was playing with the kids (again, she was 100% back to normal at this time). She accidentally backed off of a step (not high at all...it's a step up to the pool from the deck). She must have landed funny b/c she cried & held up a different leg this time. Again, my dh held her, examined her & then placed her back down on the ground. She never did favor that leg at all & was 100 % back to normal within minutes.
So of course, I'm flipped out about it. I feel guilty for allowing her to get hurt. I'm thinking the worst like she's got something wrong with her that causes her to hurt her legs easily. The vet checked for LP & said she was fine. I did not take her in to see the vet after these incidents b/c she returned to normal so quickly. My dh thinks perhaps she just bruised it... IDK? She is totally herself this morning again, running around playing like she usually does...no favoring her legs at all.
I don't really know what I'm asking...I guess I'm just talking out loud to fellow YT'ers. Most people think I'm crazy to be so concerned about her.
I'm just so glad that she's not showing any signs of injury...gotta be more careful & a better mommy. I feel like such a bad mommy.
