Cakes and Catastrophes 2

Catastrophe Number Two involved our poor little Woozle. She was standing on the sofa, climbed up it and went head first down the back to land on her head! We got such a fright. It was reassuring to hear her scream. We applied icepacks but she will have two black eyes in the morning. She must have hit her head on something on the way down if you look at the pattern of the bruises. She has an "egg" on one side of her forehead and a bruise on the opposite cheekbone.



Yet she was comforted and began playing again within less than 10 min!
I have bbeen watching her with my old 'nurse' head and I noticed that there was no loss of consciousness, pupils are equal and reacting, no lethargy, no abnormalities of gait, she is well orientated and responding well. I suggested that she will have a headache later but we should not give her paracetamol syrup because we don't want anything to mask reactions.

She is fine but our nerves are still suffering.


So that was Catastrophe Number Two. It was by far and away the worst.
