 So Very Fragile!
I was taking the dogs outside and as I opened the door, my two older dogs Candy (small Jack Russell) and Ben (male yorkie) must have seen or heard something as they sped off at sonic speed. As they did, they overran poor Annie, my new pup. She yelped and has been limping since. I have felt along the leg and she does not yelp when I gently push along it. But, if she is still limping by morning, she is off to the vet.
Just goes to show how very delicate and fragile these little ones are. Candy and Ben have been extra gentle with her when playing, but as they got excited they completely forgot she was even there. I am not even sure which one hurt her -- it just happened in a flash. They both brushed past her but she didn't get trompled or anything. It doesn't take much with these little ones, though. Tiny little bones and tendons. I sure hope she is okay and nothing broken or hurt badly. She is the sweetest thing. Very much loves to be babied while she is hurting. It is the cutest thing. She just nuzzles me and looks pathetic. But open the treat bag and she can run on 3 legs pretty fast! |
