Our 9 year old mutt fell off our bed while playing today, and started screaming :(

My husband rushed her to the vet. It was very busy so he had to wait for them to squeeze her in. While waiting a woman came in with her cat that she'd had for 11 years. She was going to have it put down because it kept peeing all over her apartment. I guess she just kept going on about how the cat had ruined her carpet, walls, several pieces of furniture, etc. It made me sad because I remember my vet telling me how many cats were put down just because of litter box issues that owners didn't want to deal with.

Well I guess one of the other people in the waiting room that has 4 cats and two chihuahua's, kept the cat :D

As for our dog, no breaks or fractures and vet thinks she just pulled a muscle. She's doing much better now and putting weight on the leg again.

Kismet :)

I've had cats refuse to use a litterbox and pee in obvious places trying to let us know there was something wrong.

Glad yours didn't sustain any lasting -- or expensive damage!

A medical problem was my first thought when my husband was telling me the story, so hopefully the woman that took the cat will have it checked out but even though I wasn't there I have a feeling she will.

My vet is awesome, he didn't even charge us for the visit :)

It was pretty stressful, she's never screamed like that before. Poor dog seems to think she's still a puppy, got overexcited and slipped right off the edge of the bed in all her jumping around.
