This morning, everything started as usual. Get up, let the dogs out.. and so on. As everyone was going off the porch, down the stairs, Maddie screamed. I was right behind them but she took off into the yard until I called her back and she came running with her little leg just dangling in the air. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was broken. A couple quick calls and off the the vet we go.. As soon as the vet saw her, he went for the pain meds. I was expecting pain meds- he flat knocked her out! She headed back for xrays and here is what we saw:
Yep. I'd call that a break alright. Radius and ulna both broke straight in two. Poor baby. We had her leg splinted and took home some pain meds as it would be a few days before we could get in for surgery, and that would give us time to think on which surgery we should have done at all.
As for now.. lots of rest and relaxation.. I guess she will just have to deal with being spoiled!
I will keep the blog updated with Maddie's progress, so please check back often or feel free to email if I take too long!
