You never could have known it would happen. We lived in a home that had hardwood steps years ago. Our Shih Tzu went up and down them many times until one day while I was at work he was following my daughter up the steps after she got out of school and he slipped. He tumbled down at least 6 steps and got banged up quite a bit. We took him to the vet and he had x-rays because he was limping. Nothing broken but he was hurting for a while.
After that I went out and got carpet strips to put on the steps until I could get them fully carpeted.
It was an accident but now that you know you can make sure it doesn't happen again. Hope she is feeling better now. |
