Yesterday, we had a not so fun visit to
the emergency dog vet. Otis is doing
fair now, but still in quite a bit of pain.
Saturday afternoon, J.T. and I took Otis to play fetch on the tennis
court close to where we live. The dog
loved chasing the tennis ball and he played very hard – a little too hard. After returning home, we noticed that Otis
was limping and having difficulty walking in general. He immediately laid down, so I went and
examined his paws. My poor baby scraped
the skin off his paw pads on the cemented tennis court. All of his paws were a little bloody, but the
back two were worse than the front two.
J.T. called the emergency vet line and they suggested that we take Otis
to be looked over. I put two pairs of
my old running socks on Otis’s little paws and he limped out to the car. While at the vet, I went into full-blow
overprotective Mama mode. That poor doctor
was drilled about medicine, side effects, and anything else I could think of to
ask. About $150 later, we went home with
a ten day round of antibiotics, a 5 day supply of pain medicine, and a new ear
cleansing medicine. Every penny is worth
it to have my pooch feeling better. The
last time Otis was sick, he had to take the antibiotic, Keflex. That
didn’t go so well. I hate giving
Otis medicine because I have such strong feelings about the overuse of antibiotics. Luckily, J.T. is off work on Monday and can keep
Otis company as he heals and monitor his behavior while he takes the medicine. Prayers for Otis during this time of sickness
are greatly appreciated J
