Well we finally heard from our regular vet. Bruce does get up and walk with a regular gate, he follows his commands, but is slow and sort of achey and he has been eating and drinking normally. The vet does not think that he has a concussion, because I saw the fall and he did not hit his head at all. She thinks he may have a strain from sticking his legs out to break his fall but because he can support his weight when forced she does not think it is emergent. I took his temperature and it was normal and his pupils have normal reactivity to light.
We are going to keep him quiet and see the vet at 7:00 a.m., but she did give her home phone if there is a change. I feel awful this is my fault, I should not have resisted getting up when he nudged me. I love this little guy more than anything! I feel like the worst parent ever. I cannot believe I would let him fall. Sleeping bag on the floor tonight, shopping for a lower bed tommorow! |
