Gizmo has been hurt.. Gizmo was let out of the hotel room by the cleaning lady I guess. We are in a hotel evacuated for the huricane. Came back from the store and he was in the parking lot limping..his little knee is all tore up like a kid that fell off his bike. He either fell down the stairs or a car hit him in the parking lot. Dad checked him out and it's not broken but he's all banged up. He let me trim the hair around it and I put peroxide and Neosporin. I gave him his meds he takes for storms and he is resting. What is safe to give him for pain? He weighs 11 pounds. There are NO vets aound here and roads are bumper to bumper with evacuees streaming in from houston. I feel so bad for him. I feel like going down there and hurting someone. They barely speak english so no use. Him and Bubba will NOT be left alone again. My son was here but in my parent's hotel room. Once again..what can I give him for pain. |
Poor baby. You could try Baby Aspirin if you can get your hands on some. Here is a link with more info. Can you reach a vet by phone for advise? Giving Your Dog Aspirin - Succeed with Healthy Animals: School for Champions |
Poor baby people are so irresponsible I cant believe the cleaning lady would let the dog out without knowing |
You can give him a 1/2 a baby aspirin, also try to find a little ice pack or put some ice in a little quart zipper bag and put ice on his knee, put something in between his skin and the ice, and just hold ice on it for 15 minutes like 4 times a day for 2 days and then use a warm pack the same way. Try to keep him off of it if you can. You also might pick up a non-stick bandage and a small ACE wrap and gently wrap his knee to keep the bandage on top of the medicine so 1) he can't lick off the medicine 2) the ACE won't stick to the wound and 3) to keep it as clean as possible. Good luck! |
So sorry, having to evacuate and then the baby getting hurt!!!!! Prayers for you. |

you don't want him licking the wound. it can become infected that way. since you gave him ace i wouldn't give him the aspirin. i don't like giving aspirin to dogs. |
I got it trimmed, cleaned, and ointment on it. Won't let me bandage..keeps nipping at me. So I'm letting him rest. Will try to find a vet in the morning. I doat on my babies, how could this have happened. Poor thing made it thru the last evac 3 years ago with Rita and got heat exhaustion. Please keep the Gizzard in your prayers for an easy night. I'm sure if the vet is open tomorrow it won't be for long. He was shaking a little earlier before I got him settle d down. I know that means he was in pain, but should I give him some Nutrical? Not sure of it's use but everybody said don't be without it, so I have alwayz kept some. |
I read this post earlier and have been thinking about it. Could you ask an employee at the hotel if they know of an ER vet in the area? 'Course - those of us reading this aren't there to see Giz' leg or how he's reacting, but I think I'd want to know just to be on the safe side if you need one later this evening. Prayer going up for your family and your little guy. |
A little Nutrical probably wouldn't hurt. Is he eating OK? |
