I'm kinda confused though... You say you almost killed Tinkerbell? Did you really think she was going to die? |
If she didn't go to my DS when she did, I may not have looked for her for another 30 minutes or so. She was shivering so badly when she put her feet on DS's chair, he said the chair started shaking, which made him look down and see her. When he handed her to me, her hair was still quite damp, and her skin and feet were very cold. Normally the hair would feel cool to the touch, but then you would feel warmth from the skin. I felt her all over, there was no warmth anywhere. That made me very concerned and I felt she was in distress. I'm not sure what would have happened if she would have just went and laid down somewhere. If her body wasn't successful at generating heat, she would have become exhausted and gone into multiple organ failure. But it would have been my fault for allowing her to remain damp after her bath instead of blow drying her right away as I usually do.
This may have something to do with her LS or just the way her body works, though I'm unaware of it being mentioned in any literature. I do have to dry my senior dog after his bath, as he does get chilled quickly. With Tink still being so young, I just didn't expect anything like this to happen with her.
