Injury Part 1

I was injured on 12 Dec in the morning prior going for my dental apppointment. I saw a cat and wanted to chase and play with it but Porsche was terrified by cat and was tugging our joint leash the other direction. Before mummy could see what happen, I felt a sharp pain and sat down immediately to cry!

I was crying so loudly that it freaks mummy out. She quickly check on me and unleash me to carry me while going to granny's place.

She decide to go on with the vet visit since she can get them to check my injury. When we were at the vet, she told the recept about my injury but the recept looks blank. So mummy also spoke to another obasan staff there and again... another blank look. Finally she speak to a vet technician. Guess what he ask? Not about my injury but if that means mummy want to have me get a consultation (means $$$ involve). Fine, so we wait while they take my blood sample since I need to have a blood test to see if I can do well on anaesthesia.

When comes the result and the consultation, apparently none of the staff told the vet about my injury. So the vet simply say that explain why 1 of my test result shows so high but still within safe range. It indicates liver as well as muscle, so that shows I have muscle trauma. He just briefly check my leg and body and say I'm ok. Then comes the $$$ question. If mummy willing to pay additional $ for me to have I/V drip during the process which will be safer since the indication of liver/muscle on the high side of safe range. Of course mummy will pay to make sure I am safe and what is best for me.

After the whole ordeal of dental scaling, mummy came to fetch me and I was so drowsy and does not want food or water. At 1 point of time when mummy carry me when at granny's place, I felt the pain again and I scream! Now that really makes mummy worry. She had almost sleepless night and praying that I will be better the next day which is a Sun.

On Sun night, when mummy was taking a shower, I kinda pulled my painful injury again and this time I send mummy running out from the shower to check on me while I cried loudly for almost a minute. She called the ER line of the vet and the clinic manager took the call. She told mummy to check me step by step and was quite adamant that I am fine, probably thinking mummy over-reacted. Mummy wants to send me to the vet the next morning and was told to bring me after 10am,

When mummy was there on Mon morn, the clinic manager says she told mummy that the vets are engaged in procedure and no time to see me. Then she ask mummy to leave me there so she ccan help to observe me. Mummy was angry and told her that she brought me there to be seen by a vet and not to be observe by a non medically train staff!

Oh well, we get to see the vet eventually and still he can't find what is wrong with me. Mummy have to ask for painkiller for me for "just in case". He think that I probably just recovering from anaesthesia and more irritable and grouchy and that he find no problem.

What to do? I wish I could talk and tell mummy where I am hurting!
