Tuesday wasn’t a good day for Fritz. He’d gone for a hike with his Daddy, and while they were at a friends home, Fritz not only got zapped by an electric fence that our friends have to keep their horses penned, but one of the horses stepped on his ankle. He yelped in pain, but at first seemed okay.
He had a bad night last night, and woke me whimpering. By this morning his ankle was swollen and we called our Veterinarian.
After Weight Watchers (I lost 1.2 pounds!) I drove home, picked up Hubby and Fritz and we drove to the Vet’s. They examined him, x-rayed him and although they did not find any break, they decided that casting the ankle and leg area was the best treatment. They also gave him a shot of “happy juice” that has kept him quiet all day long.
We drove him home and he was VERY quiet all day. Not necessarily sleepy, just silent and still, which is totally unlike him!
They’ve delayed Anneliese’s next appointment until Monday, as I am busy with Fritz and my sinus infection. So the next few days I will keep Fritz and myself quiet so we can both recover.
Oh no, the poor boy.
After Whiskey and Saxon came to Germany – I think it was even the second day in Germany – Saxon got kicked by a horse. He was screaming like a little child and I was just so scared.
Luckily there really was nothing. No injury at all. The Vet checked him and x-rayed him –> nothing.
It seems like he only got trampled on his long hair and the shock of the horse so close made him cry.
But he is careful with horses now.
Poor Fritz and MB. Hope both recover soon and completely.
Get Well quick Fritz and you too! Can’t wait for a puppy count. Love YOU, Mel
Poor guy. He looks like he´s “lusting” to go outside, sitting there by the window.
Hope you two feel better soon!
Awwww… poor Fritz! Losing to an electric fence AND a horse all in one day! NO FAIR! He deserved some “happy juice” for that!!!
He will be up and running before you know it……Until then, both of you enjoy your quiet time…..
Poor Fritz that was real bad luck for him ! even with his cast he looks so handsome ! What a beautifu dog he is ! It’s a pity that we can’t take a picture of white Fritz and white Arthur together !
So sorry that you have sinus troubles ! Not quiet the right moment !
Hope you both are feeling better!
Oh Fritzy – he just looks mellow in that picture. Kind of content to just stare outside. I hope he heals quick and you feel better soon!
