Yesterday I had to take B to the vet because he started limping on Sunday night when we got home from a Super Bowl party. He was crated while we were gone and I know he was fine then.
The vet says no broken bones, just a sprain and gave me some anti-inflammatory meds for him. Of course, I called right when they opened yesterday morning and they scheduled me for 12:50 in the afternoon. I just kept thinking "But you don't understand, he's in pain now!"
Of course, he's fine, resting and taking the meds, and was eating and acting like himself, only with a limp.
But I have created a monster - I have been carrying him up and down the stairs since he started with the limp and already he sits and waits for me to pick him up and carry him at the stairs... Oy...
Re: Don't know how those with accident prone pets do it!
Jen, B thinking he shouldn't have to walk up the stairs under his own power is pretty much "his old self", haha. He is almost cat-like in his reasoning that I am there simply to serve his needs. But thank you, I'm hoping that his limp gets better soon too.
He's not a monster, just opportunistic.
