Destiny has become to accident prone.
How her diabetes was discovered was when she kept getting holes in her front paw pads. She had one middle toe on her front right paw partially amputated in April and then both middle toes on her left front paw partially amputated in June. That means there are no paw pads left on those toes to help her grip.
10/2, she slipped and fell off the coffee table and partially dislocated her right wrist. What the vet called swelling turned out to be abscess, which burst last night and is draining puss and she now has about a 1/2 inch hole on the side of her leg. It actually means her wrist is feeling better now because the pressure is released. The inflammation hasn't completely gone down yet though, so the bone hasn't slipped back into place yet.
Last night she was laying on the back of the couch and slipped off. Thankfully I have my couch in front of my living room window because I cross-stitch and crochet and like the natural light, so she only fell about a foot and landed on the window sill.
This evening she slipped and fell off the coffee table again and when I was eating dinner, she was laying on the dining table and she got too close to the edge and fell off the dining table. She doesn't appear to have any new injuries, but I'm sure it didn't help her wrist at all. She likes to lay or sit right at the edge.
She doesn't have any pronounced neuropathy, but I'm sure she must have a little bit of rear leg weakness. The half-amputated front toes and the injured wrist certainly don't help. I can't prevent her from jumping up on things though. I try and lift her off and set her back down on the floor as much as possible to prevent her jumping down (to help the injured wrist). She has to quit falling off things though. Watching her continuing to fall just breaks my heart.
