Chloe had the worst day yesterday :(
First she had to go to the vet and get shots. She moped around all day after that, the site of the shot swelled and she was very sore at her neck and front leg because they also took blood. She just layed around all day. Then my husband went to bed early and I put Chloe on the bed with him. A little bit later, I heard a huge yelp and she came running out of the bedroom. Well my husband is not sure what he did since he did it while sleeping, he thought he pushed her off the bed, she seemed fine so I didn't worry too much about it. This morning, I wake up and open my eyes and realize Chloe is not up licking my face??? I immediately think where is she??? I look at the end of the bed and she is just laying there looking at me. I get up to go look at her and then she jumps off the bed and heads for the back door like ususal. SO I think ok, she's just being wierd. I let all the dogs out to potty, come back 2 minutes later and open the door, 2 dogs run in, but not Chloe. I look outside and she is way out in the yard just laying there in the grass. I ran out to her and she is just shaking. I pick her up and she freaks out in pain. SO I put her down and feel all over for where she could possibly be hurting and find a HUGE lump on the back of her body in front of her back leg. So my husband definately kicked her VERY hard to produce this lump (on accident of course, he feels just awful). We took her to the vet and she does not have any broken bones (I was worried about her ribs), she's just very sore.
Tonight she is eating, and has quit shaking, she is even being a little playful, let's hope tomorrow will be better.
So many people advise against letting maltese live in homes with small children, we should be more worried about our 200 pound husbands!! :o
