Just had a long talk on the phone with my friend who has taken Courage home. Apparently Courage was a bit snappy while at the clinic. This could be due to several factors (we are just guessing):
1. Maybe she is a bit more confident now, so she dares to snap.
2. Maybe the injury was new yesterday and the real extent of the pain and injury had not set in, because yesterday, she was still very friendly and had not shown any signs of pain. She could even waddle around using her front legs.
Courage has a damaged spinal chord, so moving her around is a bit of a problem. Yesterday, we could carry her up and she did not complain at all, but this was not so today. She complained. She growled and snapped.
These next three days at my friend’s is actually to let Courage settle down and be comfortable in a safe, clean and friendly environment. She needs this to settle down.
We still do not know the exact extent of the damage. My friend’s other worry is organ rupture, if any. We are not sure at this point in time. Courage is also squealing a little right now. There must be some pain settling in. My friend has allowed her dog and cat to visit Courage to let her feel that she is not alone.
The unfoldings in the next few days would tell us more.
Tomorrow, Dr Susanna will visit Courage to assess her condition.
I have asked my vet to order the stem cells. We will also be looking into the possibility of homeopathic treatment. All these are natural supplements.
One day at a time.
Please pray for things to work out well for Courage.
