Just now reading this post, and hoping you found a vet that was open. Prayers to your baby for speedy healing. |
Are you close to Fairfield? If so give them a call and explain the situitation Animal Emergency & Referral Associates 1237 Bloomfield Avenue Fairfield, NJ 07004 (973) 226-3282 (973) 788-0500 |
I'm close but not so close. About 15-20 mins...I can't go because the car won't go passed the driveway. I called and explained this to them and they said there's nothing to be done until we bring her in. And since we can't...I figure we may as well wait until 9 am tomorrow to her regular vet. It will be safer. |

Yeah we asked if it was ok to ice or bandage it and they were like no you need to bring her in to get examined. :/ Thanks soooo much for being so sweet and worried and helpful. It means a lot to me. My boyfriend was reading this thread he was like "wow! they really care about you and layla!" and I was like "I know, and they don't even know me because I'm a brand new member." So thanks so much to all of you lovely people <33333333 I will keep you all posted. |

I noted that you use Banfield. I don't know what they do about fractures; but I would suggest that if there is a fracture you go to a board certified vet. You can find one in your area by searching on the following site: www.acvs.org Good luck! I hope it is just a sprain. :) |
Poor thing. They do seem to have the worst timing for injuries, don't they? Since you can't get out of your drive way, the important thing here is to keep her off of it completely until you can get her seen. If it means swaddling her and holding her, then so be it. Keep an eye out for any temperature changes in the paw, that could be a sign of circulation disturbances which is a huge emergency. Instead of calling Banfield, I would try to locate an emergency vet in your area and call them for further instructions. They will be your best bet for getting instructions on stabilizing her until she can be seen. |
Aww, yeah. If I didn't have you guys I would be going crazy! I am really, really grateful. :wub: |

Banfield isn't answering at all, its closed, I'm sure. I called the emergency place and they didn't give any advice other than to bring her to them. I asked if there was anything I should do and they said no. :/ |

I think I would find a way to get there! I know how bad it is as I used to live in NJ and went through a couple of blizzards. As soon as you can, I would get her to the EC! I am sure that they will get the roads cleared as quickly as possible. |

I live in New York and we got the blizzard also. I'm praying nothing goes wrong with any of my fur babies today because that's how it always happens. I doubt if you can get out today as can I but the best you can do is keep her off her feet as much as possible. I know how it is when you feel helpless because one of my cats died during a blizzard and I wasn't able to get him to the vet to save him. Maybe you'll be able to get her to a vet later when things get a little better. |
You guys! I absolutely believe that your prayers and love is what sent this guardian angel to me! My mother is friends with a vet but we haven't talked to him in a long while. Well I called my friend who worked with him at the clinic and she gave me his number. The office was closed [surprise] but I left a message and -exuse my language- but holy s**t he called me back within 10 minutes! He's coming over in 20 minutes! I cried and cried and thanked him and called him my angel lols! I am soooooo happy I can't even describe it. Thank you so much, sincerely from my heart. I will let you know what happens. <3! |
