She needs a hot tub :0). She should be fine in a couple of days Terry Penny & Bill <Ketchy@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: I have a question for the List. This morning a terrible thing happened: Forest fell downstairs. She was watching Billy in the bathroom (a very wird sight, I guess), stepped backward and fell down 10 stairs. Nothing is broken, but she is very sore and cries--that worried me. I got her right into the vet's this morning, bloodwork was done (normal) temp (normal) and Jack gave me 5 day's worth of Rimadyl to give her. Most of you know that I'm not much on prescription meds and if I remember correctly (and I might not), Rimadyl has many side-effects. So far, she's had half a pill (50 mg) and will have another half before bedtime. She is very quiet; the fall has taken a lot out of her. Can anyone suggest anything special that I should be doing? (Forest is a house dog, is almost 8 years old and is in EXCELLENT condition.) Thanks in advance.
