Default Update on Pippa

I lost sleep last night worrying that something major was wrong with Miss Pippa. My daughter came home around midnight and I carried Pippa out to go potty on the pad (she hadn't peed since about 3pm-this was midnight), she did not go...just stood there and looked at me with her front right paw up. She was putting more weight on her other three legs. My daughter decided to take her to bed with her for the night.

This morning, she got up and immediately started walking around NORMALLY!
She won't jump up on the furniture, but that's the only thing different. It's like a miracle! I called the vet this morning, and he said it's ok to just keep an eye on her this weekend but if it happened again he should check her out. He didn't think it was related to her previous fall at all. He said most likely she jumped down wrong on that paw and "stung" it. That silly Pippa just decided to worry me to death I guess! I'm just so relieved she's better today!

Thank you all for the nice thoughts and prayers! It worked
