Poor Princess! So sorry to hear of her tumble. You can't blame yourself for causing her tumble. These little buggers are always underfoot and these things happen sometimes. I can still hear the yelp in my mind from the time I stepped on Huey when he was a wee pup (before I learned the "yorkie shuffle") He was fine because as soon as I felt him under my foot, I fell to the ground in the opposite direction, and my dh materialized in front of me (from the basement!) screaming "what happened??!!"
I would be very careful with the rimadyl, since it can cause stomach ulcerations, just like aspirin or motrin in a person. Unfortunately, an NSAID is what she probably needs for pain, so make sure she eats first, for sure. Maybe ask the vet if some carafate (sucrafalate) would be helpful in preventing stomach upset.
I hope Princess feels better soon, and don't you fret yourself over something that wasn't your fault, it just happened. |
