Puppy Scare

well last night one of the puppies fell from my bed... or the stand beside my bed where they sleep... jack had done this before and he was fine, so at 4am i assumed that the puppy was fine as he stopped squeaking once i picked him up... then during the night jack kept squeaking and it was so loud that i could not sleep... so i kept holding him, and then i realized that he was really wet around his mouth, so i turned on the light to find that he was drooling... oh how nice. so i let him gnaw on my finger for a while thinking that he was teething and that it was sore... which he is teething, but thats not why he was so fussy. so in the morning i bring them all up and tell the whole story to my mom over breakfast. then as i am about to leave i pick up jack one last time... he was squealing... and then i see that his eye is quite swollen, and there is puss... aaahhhhh... obviously my mind starts racing... did he hit something, maybe he is the one that fell and he hurt his eye in the fall... so i phone the vet right away and rush off with all the puppies and cleo in the laundry basket... and while driving, since there is nothing else to think about, i start thinking about the worse possible case. such as... what if he has to have his eye removed, what if he hurt his eye really badly and then actually hurt his brain... will he live... and i kept checking to make sure he was breathing. so now that i am thoroughly freaked out of my mind i get to the vet... i feel like i am about to burst out in tears... so the vet sees us, and i tell him the whole story of jack falling out of the basket, and then thinking that he may have hit his eye... and then he says...'well i dont think he fell, it looks like it is just an infection'... so he goes off and cleans it up and while he is away, i shed a few tears of relief... how the mind goes crazy when you dont know whats going on... so he comes back and i ask a few questions, and that is that... no big vet bill, no surgery, jack still has both eyes and will be perfectly fine... im such a worry wart.

    I would have been scared too, I hate the thought of any dog being hurt, I am glad that he will be okay! You must have been so relieved, I too would have cried in relief!

    P.S They are super cute puppies!
