Taking Harlee to the Vet today at 3:20...

[Christiansmommy]

We are back, and Rob just lifted her in and out of the Jeep, as to not put unneccessary stress on her foot. The vet doesn't think there is a sprain, but just like us humans, not much you can do for that, but make sure to not walk on it too much. So we will just keep her quiet this weekend. She gave us some antibiotics incase it is infected already...it looks kinda puffy, so it may have gotten infected...but it looks like it was due to her nail ripping off of the bed ( not the whole nail, just a tear from the side)...although, no blood. Anyway, thanks for the good thoughts I think she will be fine.

Oh, good to hear. Thanks to Rob for getting off work early, poor Harlee! Not her fault she's too big for Momma to lift!

Good news! Glad that it wasn't anything too serious. Give your big girl a hug from me, please.

LOL! I just had to laugh at the fact you stayed outside for 15 minutes trying to get her in the car.. Sorry

I'm glad to hear the vet thinks it's nothing serious and I do hope that she is feeling better soon! Lots of hugs to your sweetie pie girl

Robyn.. you KNOW our luvvies do those type of things on purpose.....Hearing how Rob lifted Harlee at her weight, sounded effortless!! So glad that the vet wasn't too worried and that our sweetie pie is going to be fine!

poor Harlee -
my sister's dog did that around Christmas time.
He ripped it off all the way and had to wear a cone for a while.
Hugs to the pretty girl.

She is still limping around, and it looks pretty swollen, but the antibiotics should kick in soon. They need to be taken with food...so I am adding some canned food to her dry, to make sure she has plenty of food in her belly before taking the meds. b/c last night, she hadn't eaten too much, and threw up...yuck for me, and her (sorry, too much info)!! She does generally eat her dry food all up without wetting it, but i want to make sure her tummy is nice and full, so I don't have to worry about her throwing up her medicine along with the food. Everything stayed down today I think the cats must think she has finally matured...she is being very low-key with them...little do they know, in a couple of days...she'll be back to her old self, and galloping all around the house
