Okay so let me tell you a little story about my bichon, Boston. On our trip home to Kansas City Boston was playing up on the deck with Charlotte and Truman. Well for those of you that know "the kids" you know that Charlotte and truman are "portly" so as they are all playing at the edge of the deck, which did I mention is 10 feet high.....I look away and the next thing I hear is a swoosh sound. I look down and low and behold I see Boston......10 feet below on bg of leaves ad sticks. Those portly children had pushed Boston off the deck!!! Besides almost having a stroke, I run downstairs and go retreive him. He appeared to b fine. He was walking normal and everything! The next day the kids swam in the pool and a great time! Well...the next day we mad the drive back to NAshville so Boston appeared to be fine then too, but the following day he started licking a lot and crying in the night. I tried to check him out and he wouldn't let me but he was still walking normal. I take him to the vet the next day and of course I am freaking out thinking how I am going to tell the vet that I am retarded and my dog fell off a 10 foot deck......even more so....I freak at the thought of the vet taking him from me and deeming me as an unfit dog parent! We arrive at the vet, and Boston has scrapes and bruises all around his legs. the doctor gives him injections of antibiotics, steroids, and a pain med that is so potent I can't give him any more meds for 4 days!!! Needless to say Boston was scooting around the house like he was DRUNK for days! He is finally on his last days of antibiotic and doing well! Note to all you out there...beware of DECKS and PORTLY DOGS!
