Maggie's Accident

We had an unfortunate incident this summer.  Maggie the Small Munsterlander broke her foot.  I mean, she smashed it up good! =(  She was being excited and hyper and got her foot hung up in the fence.  Chad heard a loud crack and it was immediately obvious that a trip to the vet was in order.  As you can see, she has that big 'ole ugly cast on her leg.  That is actually the second cast.  She has two more casts in her future.  Poor thing!  You may also be able to see a raw place on her leg just above her cast.  She made an extra trip to the vet today because that spot was looking worse and worse.  As it turns out, her cast was too high on her leg and was rubbing in the joint.  As you can tell, the vet just cut the top of the cast off so hopefully, with antibiotic cream, etc. that 'lil mess is gonna clear right up.  

The worse news is that she needed to be trained and tested before her first birthday.  Since her birthday is in November, and obviously all training has stopped while she heals, she probably won't be ready in time for her tests.  Chad is disappointed but resigned to the fact that nothing can be done.  In the meantime, Maggie is getting lots of extra loving and we are hoping she heals up quickly!
