Was not my normal vet. All vital signs are great, heart was not beating as quickly as it should, but she did not seem too concerned.
She told me that the reason he might not be showing any pain right after was his adrenaline was pumped high, and rotties have a very high pain tolerance.
Been 12 hours since the accident, and gums are still pink, eating normal and shows no signs of slowing down... Thank god.
She also said it was a good thing I chose to bring him in, although he may have seemed fine, does not mean that he is.
I did not hesitate, took 30 mins to walk home from a 5 min distance, but wanted to make sure he was ok.
I then waited at the vet till 8:30. I was lucky to have a good vet that was more than willing to ask her apt to wait for a few mins so Harley could be seen.
Let me tell you, I have never been so scared. I do not even want to think of what could have been if I was not paying attention.
