Mazz Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Zoya got a big owie today. She slipped on the frost as she was running up to the stairs on the deck, fell, and gashed open the underside of her lower jaw. It was a blood bath at 7:30 this morning. I had just sat down at my desk and was waiting for my computer at work to boot up, when the phone rang. It was Sally (zoyasmom). I drove back home. By then, Sally had stopped the bleeding. I applied an ointment we have called EMT to seal the wound. Zoya did not seem to be phased in the least. We took a look, and made the decision that she needeed to see the nasty old doctor again. Zoya was juat at the pet clinic on Saturday, for her annual wellness exam and some vaccinations. So, nearly $400 later, I picked Zoya up after work, cone and all. Doctor said it took 9 staples to close the wound. She is on pain meds and antibiotics. Thank my lucky stars, we hyave health insurance on her. While it won't pay the wholw bill, it will at least cover a nice part of it. Zoya is resting comfortably while Sally is out to the pet stoe to pick up a Comfy Cone to repolace the one from the vet, which is a piece of junk. I'll post pictures later in this thread.

aronoiiel Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Oh man Dave I'm so sorry to hear about Zoya's accident! Not a great way to start of the day that's for sure. At least you were able to get care for her right away so no infection could set in and such. Major healing thoughts headed her way for a swift and easy recovery though ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Removed #2 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 Poor thing, good that someone was there when it happened. They really hate the cones and sometimes I wonder how necessary they are. I've seen some that aren't actually cones but look more like a neck brace...but that probably would not stop scratching, and most likely as it heals, it will itch. Hope she's better soon!
