You're Not Going To Believe This

With the high winds and rain we had recently, the tall weedy/grass in field had blown over flat. It makes an excellent bed for critters, but it's rough on the legs. Pearl was being silly and looking for the imaginary rabbits when she got tangled up and fell. She sprained both her ankles. Her left ankle is swollen, but she's favoring the right more. I stayed home today to help her get around. She can go up on furniture and upstairs, but can't go down stairs or jump off furniture.

I gave her ascriptin and it seems to help a little.

 

She's just eating up the attention she's getting. I just hope I can tell the difference between "it still really hurts" or "it's faking it for attention."

 

Poor baby. If it's not one thing, it's another.

poor thing...if it were me, and she's still limping in a day or two, I'd have her checked out...actually, because of the swelling, I'd probably have her checked out anyway...

I'd have her checked as well, just in case this is more than a sprain, in which case early intervention may prevent additional damage.

My vet has open hours every night from 7-8 PM. She did this last night after hours, so I do plan on going tonight.

 

If there are breaks, she would be stuck with a cast on both front legs. Now that will be something.
