My Roxie was sleeping on the bed and woke up with a start and was disoriented and fell off the bed. It scared the crap out of me.
I picked her up right away but she was not using her front paw.
I took her to the Vet and he said she broke the paw and probably needed to have a metal rod put in it.
Roxie is only 2.8 pounds so after conferring with another Vet they decided it would be too much of a risk of death to operate.
They just wrapped it as they didn't have casts small enough for her.Every few days I had to take her back to have the wrap changed to make sure it wasn't cutting off her circulation.
After about 8 weeks Roxie was running around again like nothing had ever happened.
Needless to say she is not allowed on the bed EVER again. |
