Romulus fell tonight. It was my fault; I took him outside to go potty and locked us out. So he had no good place to rest, and being only post op day 6, he still has low stamina. As the locksmith arrived we’d been outside for over an hour, and as he did his tripod hop to the door, he just tipped over. He landed on his amputation site, and his cry about ripped my heart right out of my chest. I examined him – no broken stitches, wound is healing nicely, and no fluid pocket like a hematoma developed. Once we got in, he got his meds, we iced him down, and he seems fine… he immediately passed out though and is now sleeping peacefully. I, on the other hand, probably won’t sleep well and am quite shaken.
Awww….I know that was a scary and stressful time, ro add to all the stress.and.scary times.this journey gives you to begin with!!
Romulus.will be okay. He may be a bit sore tomorrow and a bit more inclined to rest…no worries. You did a good job of checking his site.
It.doesn’t help.much, but this does happen! Faceplants for frontleggers more common than rear leggers.
Now, abput YOU!! Do you have any CHOCOLATE in the hoise??? If not, stock up tomorrow and keep it around for “stress events” like this! It does wonders to soothe your nerves…as does ice cream!
