(www.meowbarkblog.com) — I came home from my Bible study last night and Ty was holding up his nonsurgery leg. It looks like he may have done something to his paw or his ankle, but that may just be wishful thinking on my part because I can’t bear the thought that his original bad knee is messed up again. I am just beating myself for not making him stay in the crate no matter what for the whole six weeks…
We have a vet appointment today at 4:45, and I’m trying to keep him comfortable in the meantime. Last night when I took him out to go to the bathroom, he fell down the patio stairs on the way back in because he couldn’t hold himself up. I was home alone, so I had to carry him myself. We both barely made it up, but we got inside.
This morning, he wouldn’t come out of his crate until I got in there with him and picked up his back end, and then as soon as he got out he laid down again. We repeated the process several times until I got him outside to go potty, and then I lifted his back end so he could wheelbarrow-walk up the steps with his front paws. Hopefully he won’t need to go again until we leave for the vet. I don’t know if either of us can take it.
