We'll Change Her Name to Poo-Poo!

Marc and I started our Saturday off EARLY...

we were up at 7:45 to take Zelda to the vet. 

That was after Marc slept with her on the floor for 4 hours. 

Thankfully, it was a short wait at the vet's office...

we were out of there in 30 minutes.

Zelda has been on her medicine since last Friday, 

but was still crying out in pain

whenever she'd push herself up 

or if I pressed too hard 

on the top of her head while petting her. 

When the Doctor examined her, 

he could tell she had tenderness in her shoulders and neck.

Turned out both shoulders were popped out of joint.

Then the most torturous thing happened...

the Doctor had to pop them back into place.

Y'all...that was one of the worst sounds 

I've ever heard in my entire life.

{Marc later said he wondered what the other patients

 in the waiting room thought was happening...

yeah, it was that bad!}

I had to turn my back to ZZ and clutch Marc's arm. 

It was terrible...and she had to endure it twice!

Poor girl was in so much pain...she pooped on the exam table!

I would've been embarrassed 

if I wasn't so concerned about my baby!

Poor little Z also had to get a shot of pain medicine 

and got a pedicure!

Dr. C gave her more pain pills for the next week 

and talked to us about the possibility of laser treatments.

When we got in the car, 

Marc noticed that Zelda still had a little poopy on her

and had to wipe her clean with a napkin.

{I was driving.}

He said we ought to call her 

poo-poo instead of boo-boo!

I told him "Congratulations, you just changed your first 'diaper'!!" 

Here's hoping my little poo-poo can start the healing process 

and be my spirited little doggy again!
