MP_the4pack Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 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.

grey14me Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 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...

Rickiesmom Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_the4pack Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
