So, the worst nightmare of my job came very close to becoming a reality tonight.
I have a pair of greyhounds I'm sitting. One is 15 and having trouble with his back legs. I had a funny feeling that something was going to happen while their owners were gone and I was right.
I went over tonight to see them and the older boy couldn't get up at all. He didn't seem like he was in any paing, but he has completely lost the use of his hind legs. I couldn't get in touch with the owners at the 33 numbers they left me but, I had made SURE I had a neighbors number before they left. Thankfully, they answered the phone and came over to help. They ended up taking the dog to an emergency vet and I'm waiting to hear what happens next. At least I didn't find the dog dead at home. That is my worst fear. But, this was not all that comfortable of an experience.
