Vincent and I were enjoying a nice,hot cup of freshly brewed tea,and Vincent decided to put his cup on one of the katten plankjes...and somehow Dieudone jumped on het plankje...and the entire HOT cup of tea fell on her entire back...
Now we all know that Dieudone does not run around or screams...but we have never seen a puddy scream so loud,and she was running around the house like a crazy fat lady trying to lose weight...and then suddenly a lot of her fur came out,and we could see her delicate pink skin.
At this point,I googled "emergency vet clinics" and found one near our house.Vincent called right away,and they told us to bring her right over.
Have you ever tried to put a hurt,scared,white puddy in a cat carrier?....After a lot of finagling,we finally got her in the carrier,I drove and Vincent sat quietly in the front seat with Dieudone.
The vets at the emergency clinic were wonderful.They took care of Dieudone right away,sedated her and took her to the surgery room,whilst Vincent and I waited in the reception area.
Whilst we were waiting,all these people came in with their hurt pets.One gentleman came in sobbing,holding his unconscious dog in his arms...
You can put me in an emergency room for humans,and I could not care less...but seeing hurt animals...Oh I was so upset,as was Vincent....
Finally Dieudone was brought back to us...They had shaved her entire back,and she was wearing a lovely white collar around her neck...They gave us cat morphine and ointment...
I slept with Dieudone on the floor,and told Vincent to try and get some sleep in the bedroom,as he had to go to work today...my poor man...he felt so guilty about hurting his puddy,but I told him accidents happen,and we did the right thing for Dieudone...
This morning we gave her the morphine and put ointment on her...she ate her food ,but still has not pooped...she is very angry at us for hurting her...and for making her wear the collar...
I was supposed to work to Honolulu tomorrow,but got rid of the trip,as I did not want Dieudone to be left alone,and we have an appointment with KJ,our vet,tomorrow,which I did not want to miss.
Animals come before sunshine and a paycheck in this household!
Alaintje now thinks he is alpha puddy,but we all know,that as soon as Dieudone gets rid of the collar,and is off the morphine,things will go back to normal....but Alaintje is enjoying his status for now!
We shall keep you updated on Dieudone....
