I feel strange that night (Saturday,16 March), upon entering the gate, and almost everyone are calling our toy poodle named fluffy (as he was always the first one to greet you with his jolly barks) Our house help opened the door and she looked quite pale.. i went straight to the kitchen and found fluffy, hes not moving, just sitting at the floor looking at me... he looked odd and his tail was inside his leg as common to the dog who looked scared and most of all, i thought i he's hurt...
indeed, as i approached him and touched his tail, he wailed.. he stood up and i saw him limping.. i was so shocked that i called everyone in the house, almost shouting at them... and then Jona told us the she found fluffy at the neighbors front gate. And my mom, told her she saw a man riding in a bike passed through our gate and she heard a faint sound of fluffy outside. That man might have run through with fluffy, the other side of the street are dark and a small animal like fluffy will be your unfortunate victim, you wont see him walking in there because of his dark brown color...
My sister immediately called fluffy's vet but her cp was out of reach.It was almost 10pm. As time passes, we are just looking at fluffy who was in deep hurt as he tried to sit or walk and we cant do anything about it.. He is wailing and crying like a child and he didn't eat that night.
Before that, we went that night to Leslies, Alabang and ate dinner because my brother departed that Sunday dawn back to Qatar. I remembered that fluffy was the first one to jumped inside the van, settles to his seat and refused to came down from the van when Jona was calling him to get down. After what happened to him, we are all thinking, we should have carry him with us that night.
My sister, brought fluffy to the vet the following day as she said they never got asleep because fluffy kept crying and wailing the whole night. The vet immediately did some x-ray and revealed the bad news to my sister.... the connecting bones between fluffy's hip and leg bones was cracked and they can't simply cast his legs anymore and only a operation can help and it will costs my sister, P30,000.
Fluffy might died earlier than the usual life span of a poodle because he cannot mate and walk straight for the rest of his life. A shot of anti-inflammatory and antibiotics was scheduled for 1 week to lessen the pain until he will get used to his new limping right foot as his cracked bones heals.
yesterday, my sister text me that she brought fluffy back to the vet because he's crying again the whole night and she saw that his "birdie" and "eggs" are swollen and looked black (like a beaten meat), a case of a Hematoma and hes not eating for 2 days...just drinking his water.
So the vet decided to admit fluffy to the hospital, put dextrose and scheduled a ultrasound to reveal if the accident damaged his liver... no one knows if fluffy can make it through the pain... hes really hurt, you can see it in his eyes.. he is such our darling... so sweet..
He's still in the hospital till now and as my sister visited him last night, the caretaker of the hospital told her that fluffy seems fighting for his dear life, now barking upon seeing other dogs, and wagging his tail when someone approached him...
I'll go there tonight and visits him... he needs a morale booster from his family. Get well soon, Fluffy.. I can't wait to play with you again.
