Poor Blue hurt her back yesterday. I took her to the vet because she wasn't acting like herself at all. She was shivering and panting and wouldn't eat her dinner.. it was frightening to see. I never go to the doctor for anything, but I can't stand to see any of my pets in distress, so off we went as fast as I could go. I was kinda freaking out.
At the vet's she lay on the bench in the exam room with me, shaking like a leaf. Normally she is all over the place, bouncing off walls and kissing everyone. She didn't even want to kiss the doctor.
The vet checked her over and examined her spine. When she got to a point in her lower back, poor Blue flinched and tried to dip away from her. So she got an anti inflammatory shot and some pain meds to hold her over for a few days.
She seems to be feeling better today, but no running, jumping or roughhousing for awhile yet. I don't want it to become some chronic problem.. poor little Berry..
