Yesterday while the girls were free ranging I realized I failed to put the christmas tree lights cord out of reach when I caught Lily chewing on it. I rushed over to the tree and took it away from her before the could gnaw through it and when I stepped back Cordelia was right under my foot. :sad3: I stepped down on something fuzzy that let out a loud squeak and luckily didn't step down all the way and I nearly fell into the tree. She ran away under the couch and then hid behind their cage and wouldn't come out. That had me worried. She would not come out when I shook the treat jar and I knew something was wrong because she is always there first when I shake that jar. I moved the cage back and it took a lot of bribing with yogies to get her to come out. She walked normal the rest of that day so I figured she was just really scared. But today she is a little slow for her and she is favoring her right foot. She walks and carries on like normal, just slower and occasionally raises that foot, though she will walk on it. She doesn't cry or try to get away when I hold her and touch it. I figure if it were broken she wouldn't want me to touch and would give a loud squeak. I am sure I am not the only one to accidently step on one of their ratties, but I feel so bad! :cry4: Their probably isn't much a vet can do for an injured ratty foot, is their? :cry3:
: Okay the drama queen is completely fine-she is as spunky as ever. She is running full throttle in her wheel right now. I think she was fakin....just to get extra treats and lovin' from mom. Can't blame her though, she is a smart cookie.
