Athena woke us at about 3:30 this morning. She was panting heavily and yelping up a storm. At first we thought it was her foot that was bothering her. Her back right leg was quivering and as Dale held her I tried to look at her paw. She yelped and tried to squirm away and cried again when I touched the joint of her leg. It turns out her tail was what was bothering her the most. We brought her to the emergency vet and they did an x-ray and determined she had sprained her tail. I was surprised to find out that dogs have bones in their tails. I thought it was cartilage. Shows how much I know. Anyway, they gave us some pain killer for her and she seems to be doing fine. We're thinking she fell off the couch during the night and landed on her tail but I guess we'll never know...
