I thought about it and realized that I go to my hubby for second opinions constantly so j can relate to wanting one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12092826822626225992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-7607793718680138972015-03-20T12:16:28.997-05:002015-03-20T12:16:28.997-05:00I had a similar situation happen.

I thought maybe he had a seizure or a broken bone or something. I scooped him into his crate and dragged him to the vet. Upon arriving and releasing Kirby from his crate, he cowered in the corner of the office. He refused to budge for the vet. She felt him for broken bones but he was completely fine. I took him home and then got zero sleep because every single time Kirby jumped on the bed, Chomps hissed at him. Yeah. No family anywhere. No friends to help. My husband was in Oklahoma working on a grad degree. I don't even know why I let my husband go to another state for grad school. That was a mistake that will not be repeated. I know it's different for you. I want to thank you and your husband for sacrificing for my freedom. Yeah, long story. Sorry about that.

I'm glad they're both okay!<br /><br />I was at the emergency vet with Gus last night, got home at 3:30 a.m., and got up at 5:45. I told MFD I was going and said this is going to be expensive and he said whatever. We're those people. We'll pay.SMD @ lifeaccordingtostephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884611147965544589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-31043406732766933502015-03-20T11:12:48.475-05:002015-03-20T11:12:48.475-05:00I'm glad Jett is okay (how's Scout's p...I'm glad Jett is okay (how's Scout's paw?) but you should probably make sure you're not running and jumping on the furniture and such after smacking your leg like that! ;)Angihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394336849612797834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-44764194593490834152015-03-20T09:10:42.061-05:002015-03-20T09:10:42.061-05:00I absolutely would have taken him to the vet! Dobi...I absolutely would have taken him to the vet! Dobie had arthritis and before it was diagnosed, he would limp and yelp and it was awful until the vet checked him out and told us what was wrong. And, like you, I stay up half the night watching him. I love my dogs and I will do whatever I can to keep them healthy and alive as long as possible.<br /><br />Not having a second opinion sucks but you're smart and know to trust your instincts.Jana @ Jana Sayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15501814243709445827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-59451174284502547992015-03-20T08:58:23.835-05:002015-03-20T08:58:23.835-05:00I would have taken him to the vet too!

I'm a perfectly competent person, but sometimes just having a second opinion is necessary. I'm glad Jett seems to be fine (I hope scout is too? From the cactus?) But I HATE that you hurt yourself. I have a massive bruise on my shin from trying to climb up on the counter at work to put something away (why does everyone in my life have to be super freaking tall and I'm just the shrimp left to climb on counters? This is my life).Joey Hodges https://www.blogger.com/profile/03924167639294786738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-91001488120882026532015-03-20T06:21:31.491-05:002015-03-20T06:21:31.491-05:00Aww!
