My dog has fallen off the bed

[Teacupinastorm]

Last night my dog (11) fell off the bed. She didn’t yelp she just kind of scrambled in panic. Now one leg is floppy and limp, she won’t put it down at all. She’s not whining but I know that doesn’t necessarily mean she’s not in pain. She did damage to the ligaments in this leg before (chasing squirrels ) and it did eventually heal but she’s still a bit wonky every now and then. Could she have properly tore them now? Or could it be broken? Dislocated? I will be at our vets when they open at 8:30.

So sorry

oh OP.

It's such a tough decision to have to make.
So sorry for your loss.

I'm so sorry

It sounds trite but it's true: better a week too early than a day too late. I've been there and in time I found that knowing I did right by beautiful Ddog really helped.

I am so sorry for your loss. My heart is breaking for you.

Thank you all.
I know we did the right thing, and in a way a weight has been lifted. She’s not suffering and she is pain free.

But god, it hurts.

Oh teacup. I’m so sorry. For what it’s worth I think you did the right thing. At her age and with her health complications, surgery could have been very difficult and have long lasting problems. Like you say, she went quietly and happily, knowing she was loved.

My aunt and uncle lost their dog this week. He collapsed whilst out on a walk. Vet said most likely a heart attack. They didn’t have any family and they doted on him. Been a hard week.

We take these little people into our lives knowing that they won’t be with us for long. The pain is no less when it comes but the years of happiness and companionship and all the happy memories are worth it.

I am sorry though. I know exactly how you feel.

Oh I’m so sorry for you teacup.
You’ve done the right thing for her but it’s so hard. It wouldn’t have been fair to put her through the operations and recovery.
I’ll be thinking of you.

I'm so sorry OP.

You did the right thing and the kindest thing for your beloved dog.

It must have been such a hard decision to make. I've been there, it's heartbreaking.

I'm so sorry
