Emergency 2am vet visit
 

Just got back from a 2am emergency visit to the vet. I went to take my night time bath and my grandma was watching her like she does every night when I go take my nightly bath. Well I got out of the bath and my grandma goes Taylor I think something is wrong with Callie shes just been sitting there for a long time (she was on the sofa) well I went over and got on my knees in front of the sofa and saw she was holding her paw/leg funny so I softly messed with it a little and she cried so I took of her shirt which even as carefully as I did it she cried again and when I was looking at it, it appeared to hurt her around her shoulder so I told my grandma to please watch her while I went and got clothes on and then we called her regular vet who had the number up on there machine of a well known emergency vet to use if there was an emergency so we called them and they said come on over and ring the bell and we will let you in. So scared to put her shirt back on I wrapped her in a thick towel and me and my grandma headed to the emergency vet. We got there and got checked in and I put her down for the vet tech. to see her walk and she put some weight on it but was limping and not crying so they took her temp and listened to her chest and we waited for the vet to come in. The vet came in checked her out rather rough in my opinion but did a good job of checking everything and set her down to walk and she did and she went right up to him and tried to roll over like she does to lots of new people and he said he thought everything was good but that he could do x-rays if we wanted and we did so they did the x-rays and they came out fine. So he thinks she missed a step when jumping off of the sofa. She wasn't whining and was walking almost perfect so they didnt give us pain meds but they said to not let her jump and run for about 5 days. Callie is 15 pounds so I never worried about her jumping up and down from furniture well now I will I hope to buy her some stairs for my bed and for the sofa in the living room. I'm still shaken up. Gonna try to go to bed soon and tuck her in next to me.

I just so happened to be on right now and saw this - you sound like you need a big HUG. I hope she feels better soon, and I think the stairs are a great idea!

Good Morning... We're up late
 

Hi Taylor,
Sorry to hear about your unexpected visit to the vet. I love people like you, drop everything to take care of our babies. I would have done the same thing. I'm glad Callie seems fine, maybe with a little rest and a lot of spoiling she'll be fine.

I'll tell you a story one day about Tuffy and what happened at the vet's office.
It's sad but it was just like Tuffy to pull something like this... :littleang

Try and get some rest with your baby, hope things are better for you in the morning.

Take care,

Hope she feels better soon. I guess larger dogs can get hurt just like the little ones can. All 4 of mine are around 5-6 lbs and they all jump off the sofa and has never got hurt. I will watch mine more now.

So glad she is ok and I hope she feels better soon!

Oh I am so glad that everything seems to be fine now! You are a very good mommy for worrying about her. :)

I thought it was going to be a different ending the way she was acting at the beginning of your story. I am SO glad it wasn't broken or serious! Poor thing. She will be back to her ol self real soon!!

I'm happy to read your baby will be fine with rest and carring for that leg.
It is scary when they get injured, glad your story has a happy ending.

Glad your baby is ok.
