We were scared to death for our precious girl on Tuesday, she got stuck in the top of the garage door and we didn’t hear her. 😿 (Pro tip, don’t Google this unless you want to be slightly traumatized.)
She was out there for about 15 minutes until some kind neighbors knocked on our door and Nate raced out to get her. When he first got her down she was kind of limp and wasn’t moving her legs or tail and we were worried that her back was broken. We immediately went to the vet and let them know we were on our way. By the time they examined her she was able to move her legs and tail and wasn’t too bothered by the physical exam, just scared and sore. Since she was able to walk and the vet didn’t believe there were broken bones, we opted to give her laser treatment to help with inflammation and pain medication and gingerly brought her home. We are so thankful our baby is okay overall and know it could have been so much worse!
We learned three lessons from this:
1. Always check the top of your garage door for your cats, even if you just saw them on the floor a mere 30 seconds ago. They’re speedier than you may think!
2. If you have pets, put the nearest emergency animal hospital as a contact in your phone. If this had happened twenty minutes later the offices in our areas were closed and we didn’t know where or what the nearest emergency place was…it’s hard to think quickly when you’re that scared – and there’s no 911 for animals!
3. As people of faith, we were reminded of God’s care for us and his smallest creatures.
We know we could have easily lost her and would have been devastated…we are so thankful that it turned out as the best case scenario. ❤️
