Bad News

On Sunday morning...just as we were about to leave for chuch our little kia landed badly and broke her back leg. Thankfully Heather (my sis-in-law) was here and she's a vet tech so she was able to help us decide what to do. We took her to the emergancy vet and they gave her some pain medications and took an x-ray detirmining that it was broken. We had hoped she'd just dislocated it...but oh well. The break is quite high so they're unable to put a cast or bandages on so we can either let it try and heal naturally or have surgery and have plates and pins put in. We will need to keep her movements to a minimum for about 8-12 weeks regardless of which way we go. She's in alot of pain but the meds help and she's kind of docile. She actually sits still when you pat her. Lol. Much worse things could have happened so we have LOTS to be thankful for!

BYE!!

Poor Kia

it must've been terrible.

At least Seths sister was there!
Good luck getting her to stay still for 12 weeks!!!

Poor thing! It's a shame that the break was so high and they can't put a cast on it.

Hopefully it will heal enough naturally so she doesn't need surgery.
