<DIV>HOLY SH** that pretty much sums up this day, this afternoon I
decided to give my Maggie a bath as she was scaly and itchy and I am
suppose to bathe her three times a week, same routine as always only
this time as i am lathering her up she starts to scream, I am talking
screaming, so I hurry up and rinse and try to get her out of the tub
and more screaming at me, she can not put any weight on her left
leg, so I called the vet, this is an emergency and Bill drives
like a maniac home to carry her out to the car and I sit in the back with
her, Bill is driving like a mad man and I am about to throw up, (
did I ever say I get car sick ) mean while Maggie is crying we get
to the vets and they meet us and carry her in on a stretcher, we saw Dr.
Bob , he thinks she has a dislocated shoulder, didn't do X _ Rays at
this time as there is way too much swelling, they did a laser treatment
and will have another one on Thursday, mean while Dr. Bob told us to
cancel the trip to MSU. he told us that he is specializes in dermatology
and he feels that the trip to MSU is a waste of good money, so he is
taking over Maggies case, so in the mean time, Maggie is on rest and
tramadol for pain she can not go up and down the stairs and I can not lift
her, so I guess she will have to wet in her bed until her daddy gets home
from work, some times there is NO choice !!!!! it is her front left
shoulder and she can not even use a ramp ! I finished off a half bottle of
wine when I got home.. I can not leave her, we got out her crate,
but I think it is way too small for her, we got it when she was a pup even
though she grew in to it, it seems small, I don't think she would be able to
turn around in it once she got in and it's even a bigger task with only three
working legs</DIV>
