Iris

Today Iris was hit by a car. Apparently she undid her chain hook, and escape. She walked down Matlock, and began to cross Country Club. As she was crossing, a car clipped her on the side of the head. Fortunately two people saw it, and went to her. She had her tags on, so the people were able to call the vet and animal control. Animal control took her to the vet for me.

At the vet, the could not find any broken bones, but she was bleeding from her nose and inner ear. The vet fears that she may have neurological damage, but at this time there is no way to know. They did ask us to take her to the 24 hour vet place so they could keep an eye on her.

The 24 hour vet told us the fact that she survived the hit is a good sign, but there are still a good chance of problems. Fortunately she is not feeling any pain unless she starts flailing around. The brain is almost in a off state, but it's a coping mechanism for her pain. But when she would hear Lauren or my voice she would start coming out of it and go into pain. So we are leaving her at the hospital so she can get some rest. They did say that the could not find any broken bones so far, but they are doing x-rays just to be sure. I will keep you posted.

Until Next Time,
