I am sorry to hear that happened to Muffin. You must be very worried about her. Is she limping? If so she should be evaluated by a veterinarian. Is she eating, drinking, and acting normal? Hopefully she is just a little shaken. However, if you have any concerns that something just isn’t right then I would recommend that she be evaluated by a veterinarian as soon as possible. Best of luck and thank you for using Pet Coach.
