The first appointment was on Tuesday. I had Nora in her stroller, clipped in, and had just gotten out the front door. I set the brake and turned to close the front door behind me. When I turned back around, Nora was swaying to propel the stroller.
Sadly, it worked. We had the world's shortest reenactment of the Odessa steps sequence, and Nora landed with the stroller on top of her. A workman saw it happen, helped me get her back into the stroller,and stayed with her for a minute while I threw away the poop that had also been thrown from her stroller.
I talked to the emergency vet while she had her appointment. We're keeping an eye on her, but other than some heavier panting, she doesn't seem to have suffered ill effects from it.
Today, I held onto the stroller while shutting the door. As I bent to grab the front of the stroller to carry it down the steps, she lurched. Nora was fine. The stroller landed upright on the sidewalk. I, however, managed to tweak my right ankle, both knees, and bruise my ribcage from the fall.
I have applied CBD oil as appropriate. I know the vet prescribed the valium for her, but I think it makes more sense for me at the moment.
