While playing with her Dad (Mr. Seventies)...Liesel stumbled & either over-reached her front paw or knuckled it over.....and within an instant she was holding her paw up & crying!
We were quick to action.....setting up the x-pen for her to recuperate & administered pain medication...this was last evening....medicated and snoozing away......
This morning...she is putting a bit of weight on the paw....but we're still keeping her in the x-pen on the down-low & she is comfortable in front of a warm fire. And with half dose of pain medication. She is eating & drinking....and Mr. Seventies gets her out for potty breaks.
Hopefully, tomorrow we will continue to see improvement. We're pretty certain it is not as arthritis flare up...as we both witnessed her over extended her paw. She loves to play tug with her toys....and tends to play rough....and she uses her front legs to hang onto her toy. When she does this....we don't attempt to pull it from her....for fear of hurting her legs. But this was her....just playing rough...and tripping over her own paw or toy....doing what dogs do.....
In other news....we have one quote in for the covering floors & furniture that we cannot move & removal, repair & painting of the ceilings! And it's not crazily over priced! Have another guy coming....need to make sure he does everything as well.
It's blustery & cool here today...with just a few patches of snow around. Still able to wear sneakers...which is awesome! No heavy winter boots!
Til next time...healing wishes for our little wirehair greatly appreciated!
