- (HRH) Her Royal Highness Princess Gracie & Princess Amelia Pond (Amy)
HRH scared the daylights out of me yesterday. She did not pop up to go out of the bedroom with me when I woke up. I called to her, still she didn't move. I got down and touched her and she didn't move and it didn't seem like she was breathing. I petted her a bit and wiggled her and of course started crying inconsolably because I was certain she had just died. She was warm and pliable but didn't respond at all.
Then I got up and went to the other room to get the phone to call Bruce because he was fishing. I let Amy outside, then went back in the bedroom and she was sitting up on her bed like nothing had happened and she seems perfectly fine. She is acting perfectly normal now.
I was in immediate Panic mode, and it took me hours to recover and stop tearing up just thinking about it.
We took her to the vet, and she is perfectly normal. They did a CBC (blood tests) to rule out any imbalances, but apparently from talking with other Mods I've learned this isn't so very uncommon in older EB's. They just sometimes sleep very very soundly.
So if she ever does this again I know to be extra sure she isn't just sleeping soundly before I panic.
I'm posting this here just so others will perhaps see it and it might help them not panic if they ever experience the same thing.
