A very good boy just got hit by a car. Best case scenario he is about to be three legged. I'm trying not to think about worst case. My son is inconsolable. Pray for him too.
If y'all will excuse, I believe I'm finishing this bottle of whiskey tonight. The last hour and a half has been the toughest I've had in a while. I can't read any more Fauci shit right now. I can't.
Thanks for listening, love you all, needed to vent.
I had a great tripod after being hit. Prayers for a peaceful transition.
Can't wait to pick him up after work today. All the people know he's ok(ish) and have done our own little happy dances, but the other dogs have been so mopey. I bet there will be joyful waggles all night.
You have been through this? How long did it take before yours adapted and found balance to walk again? We made room in the shed for him to recover in. I'm very nervous about having to pick him up to carry him in and out of it. Getting him into the car while hurt was traumatic for all of us. I have no idea what to expect, haven't had the chance to ask the vet yet. Any insight from personal experience would help tremendously. I don't like the unknown, and want to mentally prepared.
I got my dog a kids t-shirt that fit snug to keep the bandages in place. It worked well and she didn’t mess with her dressings. I was amazed at her resilience. She did just fine with one leg. Your pup will need a shallow food and water bowl to eat from a laying position.
A plate or shallow bowl to eat and drink from was the one thing that was most helpful. I was shocked how well she adapted. She had a few stumbles when she started running, but not many. Not many at all.
