 Ally was lifeless!
I had a terrible scare yesterday morning. I was walking around the Family Room, while Tia and Ally were laying on the couch. I put steps up to the couch so they can get up and down. Ally is a squirrel fanatic and just loves them, so she is always on the watch for them...no matter where she is. I heard both girls startle (bells on their collars) and I turned to see a squirrel on the fence. Both girls jumped to their feet and headed for the steps to get down. Tia was at the door within seconds, but Ally was nowhere to be found. I called her and she didn't come. I found her lifeless behind the coffee table! I called her and she didn't move. I paniced and couldn't breath or even move...ready to faint and throw up all over the floor! I moved her soft pillow bed close to her and gently put her in it, got dressed and rushed her to the vet, crying the whole way! She finally lifted her head when we walked in. Well, after an examination, xrays, and a steroid shot, my baby girl is fine. Ally had gone into shock and even her little tail was limp! It took all day yesterday for her to recover, but today she is 90% her normal little 3lb self. I'm guessing that Tia must have bumped her off the couch. The vet thinks she landed on her back. I've never been so upset and thankful in all my life! I love my girls! |
