6-7 flights of stairs, she tumbled 3-4 x's & hit the wall.
She lost one nail, completely torn off, didn't break any other bones TG. X-rays showed some inflammation on 2 toes, right 3rd toe had no nail & the bone embedding the nail is jagged, meaning some parts broke off.
She bled everywhere, on my clothes, all over the floor (TG we have laminate flooring), she was still bleeding when we got to the vet office. The terry cloth rag I wrapped her paw was soaked w/blood.
I'm beyond guilt ridden & feel so bad for her. It was a freak accident, but I made her lose balance. My dad came over this morning & we were going down the stairs to greet him. I was holding Mimi & every-furry-body was running down the stairs. Princess was right in front of my foot when I was stepping down & I barely touched/ pushed her. This made her lose her footing on the stairs & she tumbled & rolled down, the wall breaking her fall. She didn't hit the wall hard & she even ran up to my dad to say 'Hi'. But then I noticed the blood on the floor. It was complete chaos.
Vet gave her pain injection along w/antibiotic injection bc she might be allergic to some antibiotics, like amoxicillin. He said she might not grow back her nail. No walking out side/ exercise for 3-4 weeks & prescribed rimadyl.
Is rimadyl ok to give? I read on here that it's not good, too many bad side affects? I wasn't thinking clearly when I was @ the vet's...didn't get to drink my morning coffee. Going to search for rimadyl threads now...please say a little prayer for my baby girl Princess.
I hurt my toe...

I went through the same thing w/Momo ripping his dew claw off awhile back. It grew back, but he freaks out when it's time to trim nails. @ least the dew claw doesn't hit the floor when they walk...poor Princess.
