Journaling- Ah, poor Bailey! I came home from work that day and saw he was limping. I looked at his leg and it looked like he had gotten gum or something sticky stuck on his leg. He wouldn’t let me touch it and was whimpering so I loaded him up in the car and took him to the vet. The vet took a quick peek at it and found that it was a cut but didn’t think it was a big deal. She said he’d have to be isolated for a few days so I headed off to the store to get some bandages and flannel pieces for him to lay on. I went back and the Vet Tech came out to tell me it was much worse that the vet originally thought and that he had severed all of the tendons and arteries in that leg. She was stitching everything back together and told me to go back home and try to find what he’d cut it on so she could decide what kind of medication he would need. I was just in shock. I couldn’t find anything in the house- no blood, nothing! It’s still a mystery to this day. I went back at 11:00 pm to pick him up. The vet was just awesome! She didn’t charge me nearly what you would expect to pay and let me bring my baby home that night.
Bailey had to wear the cast for 8 weeks and I had to take him to the vet every few days to change the bandage since the little brat wouldn’t let me do it. I think he just liked having 3 or 4 women petting and talking to him while we changed his bandage. He’d try to bite me but not his girlfriends at the vets office! At this time, Monkey wouldn’t let me anywhere near him still and he was very upset that he couldn’t hang out with Bailey. Bailey had to stay in a cage in the guest room while I was at work and in a large carrier at night next to me. I thought he’d like the larger cage better but he wanted to be near me I guess. Monkey figured out pretty quickly that if he wanted to be near Bailey, he had to get near me. I learned not to let them have unsupervised visitation, though. I let Monkey in the guest room to visit Bailey without me around one day about a week after it happened and that little brat helped Bailey pull his cast off! I was walking in the room as they were doing it. Bailey stuck his foot with the cast through the bars and Monkey grabbed it and pulled it off! The vet was laughing so hard when I called her to tell her I had to bring him in for another cast.
We did physical therapy for another 4 weeks after he got the cast off and gradually strengthened it. Amazingly, he not only didn’t lose that leg, he doesn’t even limp on it! I’m sure his petite size helped a lot. It took a few more months but then he was right back to his normal self. He has a small scar that I can barely find and you can’t tell how perilously close he was to losing that leg now.
He is one lucky little guy!
