Tomorrow will mark day 300 of being prednisone free!!! 300!!! Way to go to my little man...what a trooper he's been this past year. HOWEVER....Coby did decide to give us a scare the first day we moved into our new apartment in Florida. Not sure if he slipped or jumped, but he "fell" 2 stories from the balcony/roof. He had diarrhea...the first day in our new place, so I pushed him onto the balcony, thinking he wouldn't try & escape. Well...I turned my head for a couple minutes to clean up what he started in the house & he disappeared. I ran all over the "roof" of the building & couldn't find him - he squeezed his skinny butt thru our balcony railings (see photos below). Anyways, I just happened to look down to see if he "jumped" & sure enough....he was down on the drive way area, near a busy street, just sitting there. He was obviously hurt b/c he tried to walk & was limping. He wasn't crying, but he was hurt. I almost jumped off the roof myself to get him, but thankfully someone drove by & stopped to make sure Coby stayed put until Chris got downstairs. So...I then took "superman" to the ER for x-rays & they didn't see anythikng broken or wrong. However, Coby was still walking goofy & not normal, so the vet suggested seeing an orthopedic specialist about 30 minutes north of where we were - so I rushed Coby there thru rush hour traffic. They only said it looked like Coby has/had a luxating patella in his left leg - which I'm almost positive is the side he "fell" on & that is new. So, he was just put on some anti-inflammatory & pain meds for a week....along with "bed rest". LOL He's doing better now, but what a scare. And $700 later.....our first day in our new apartment....OMG! Coby the flying wonder dog!!!
