<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">As I was trying
to coax Buster back into the house this morning since he was
finished with his after breakfast stroll through the yard (he was pouting and
upset I did not hand feed him this morning), I heard a terrible squeal, at first
I thought they had a baby bunny in their grasp by THEY I mean the other eight
Bassets who were romping around the yard thinking Buster is a doofus.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">Squeal squeal squeal... I
look over and Bubba is limping and crying ... oh no!! Now what???? </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">I scooped him into my arms
and looked him over no thorn in the paw, but he would yelp when I touched his
ankle so immediately we called the vet packed into the car and off we went for
Xrays. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">Bubba sprained his ankle.
Sprained his ankle from playing too hard. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">UGH! Just when I thought I
had a handle on the vet bills now we had four more Xrays to pay for and an
office visit, some pain pills, a knockout drug to relax him so they could take
the X rays and a wake up drug.... Geesh! </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">Then on the way home he had
diarrhea in the car a side effect of the drugs they gave him. Now I am worn
slick, gave him a bath, cleaned the car from stem to stern if cars have such
things....he got his soft cast wet loaded with diarrhea so need to redo that
.... having a bad day today. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">I am so happy nothing is
broken but am ready for wine if only we had some. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff size=4 face="Comic Sans MS">Buster looking at Bubba and
saying man you stink!! Stewie says lets play some more... Bubba drooling like
crazy on the rug in the bathroom as he waits for the drugs to wear
off ...massive drool is another side effect and clenched jaws... I think
next time I will just offer to hold him for Xrays this was way too traumatic on
him and me. See Bubbas picture under our Available Hounds
