Last night I opened Atticus' cage a crack and he FLEW through the air, and broke his leg. He was on the ground screaming and I was crying hysterically and of course I was home alone, noone to help or comfort us. He was sitting in my lap for a couple hours and just wanted to be snuggled. He went to the vet early this morning at 7am (they were closed yesterday), and the dr. checked it out and we got some xrays. His lower arm was snapped. He gased him down and he matched the bones back together and put a cast on him. I sat in the waiting room for hours crying my eyes out while everyone was staring at me. I feel like a terrible mom. He's home now and acts like nothing happened. He wants to run but he doesnt get why he has a "thing" on his leg. He's sitting in my lap now chewing on a bone and relaxing. He's fine, but it'll be 4-6 weeks before the cast comes off. He's eating normal and drinking and pottying, so he's doing very well. I just cant believe how fast it happened! I didnt have time to react, he never bolts out of his cage...he was too happy to see me. Thank God my mom works at the vet and I get everything for free...I also met a very nice poodle owner and groomer who sat and talked with me telling me how good of a mom I was to him and that it wasnt my fault. She got me to stop crying so I thanked her for that. It has just been a horrible weekend. I'm staying home from school tomarrow so I can be home with my baby. Just please dont yell at me or say rude comments, I feel bad enough. I just wanted to keep you guys updated on what happened...
His xray
waking up in my arms from being gased
sleeping in my lap in the waiting room with his new blue cast
and just a couple minutes ago when we got home.
