Last night Goliath was running around like a mad man and jumnped up on the box fan. When he did, he pulled it over on himself. I have never heard such yowling and crying in my entire life. He was holding his left rear leg forward and up. I put him back with momma Goldie which was a BIG mistake. He kept crying and carrying on, so I realized he was hurt, more than scred. When I tried to reach for him, she clawed and bite and hissed. After I got him, I isolated him in a big carrier and called the Vet. She called back and suggested I let him rest for an hour and then call her if he was not walking. Well I waited and he was not weight bearing and still crying and shaking. We went up at 9PM last night - after a check out, she felt he may have hurt his knee - She did not want to x-ray him at that time as she was the only one there and would have had to knock him out to do so. I was thankful that the hip was not broken. She gave him pain meds, told me to isolate him in the carrier so he would not run around and told me to call her this AM if he was not weight bearing. He is still gimping around but is placing some weight limitedly on that leg. She thought is might be sprained? I wonder if I should call or just wait until tomorrow during regular hours. He IS better and does not cry all the time.
Thoughts? Thank you!
