Poor Poopy
This morning I woke up worried. My husband got out of bed first and the kids were already awake. Hoping for the best I lay in bed listening for any alerts indicating that Maple had made the carpets her personal WC. It was quiet, a good sign. Not knowing what to expect I slowly made my way downstairs. Nervously I scanned the living room to ensure the coast was clear. Maple lay asleep in the exact same spot as I had left her the night before. It turned out that the carpets had survived the night and would live to see another day. Already the day seemed better than the previous one.
Surprisingly, Maple did not even go to the bathroom (2) on our walk. She seemed back to herself. Questioning whether to keep my vet appointment, I made the executive decision to go. I probably would have cancelled but the bleeding still had me concerned.
The vet told me that I should have just called her. That although for a human being, bleeding from one’s butt should cause great concern, for a dog it just meant irritation. She then pacified me and sent me on my merry way. She did tell me that if I wanted to avoid expensive operations, it was a good idea to keep the dog away from sticks. Apparently they can pierce their insides.
The good news is Maple is her good old self and my carpets are clean.
