Sherman's vet visit update

[cyber-sibes]

i just got back from the dogpark - Sherman slammed hard right into a tree at the dogpark, I think he may have broken a toe. At first I thought he poked his eye out because he had sap lines across his face & head. But aside from a swollen eye & nose & bloody upper lip, his head's ok. I've never heard him cry out like that! I sat holding his head for a while, then carried him to the car. I called the vet, she said if he's still not weight-bearing on that paw by tomorrow, bring him in. She said even if he broke it, it's ok to wait till morning, it won't change the treatment. So please send some quick PT good vibes that he'll be ok by morning. Thanks

Thanks for all your good wishes for Sherman. It's Sunday night and he's still holding his paw up most of the time. But we can apply a good bit of pressure and he doesn't seem to mind, so I guess that's a pretty good sign he's on the mend. Overall it's kind of amazing that this doesn't happen to him more often considering his vision problem. I think if it had been a BIG tree, he would have picked it up in his peripheral vision, but it was one of the small trees they planted last year, I don't think he saw it coming, poor guy! i'm just thankful it was his paw and not his eye. The swelling over his eye has gone down quite a bit. Today he's definitely more interested in what snack I've brought him more than in keeping his foot away from us. LOL! He's such a sweetheart! He likes all the kisses & hugs I give to him from all of you. Star is doing her best to cheer him up by trying to get him to chase her, but he's staying pretty calm, just tries to bat her with his gimpy paw and growls at her in play.

This afternoon (Tuesday) Sherman made his first trip back to the dogpark. He didn't do any running as he's still limping, but there were lots of dogs there and he had fun posturing with them to get them to play, and of course hanging around with all the owners & getting petted & coddled! (Oh, pooooor Sherman! pet- pet-pet ) Towards the end he was limping more and whining a bit on the way home, so he got an aspirin after supper. Thanks again for your thoughts. Sherman sends you all slurps!
