Gracie Doodle in X-Ray...Waiting for the Vet to call!!

I can't believe it...I have been watching all the reports of the Doodles getting sick and everyone is having trouble trying to figure out what is wrong with them.  Now, this morning Gracie (who likes to sleep in late) jumped off our bed and came limping down the hall to the kitchen where we were sitting.  I immediately had her lay down and I checked her back paws and pads for some type of injury or something stuck in her paw.  I was decorating the tree last night and thought maybe she stepped on an ornament hook.  Nothing.  Then our neighbor did it a bit more aggressively and she cried when her second from the outer left back paw toe was pressed.  We took her to the vet and they think either a sprained or broken toe!  She is there now where they were going to make her sleepy with pain medication and then x-ray.  That was three hours ago and we are still waiting for the call.  They are also going to x-ray the entire leg just as a precaution.  Fingers crossed it is just the toe! 

What the Doodle is happening to all our babies?  Great way for everyone to start the holidays...huh?

UPDATE - Gracie Doodle is fine!

Gracie Doodle is home and asleep on our bed.  She has pain medication with they gave her mainly so they could do the x-ray rather than go through the IV and shaved leg thing.  There is no fracture, foreign object or knee problems.  There is always that fear that there could be a tear in the knee or heaven forbid, cancer!  Clean bill of health so we are thinking a sprain or tweaked toe.  Slow leash walk for a week and no chasing her tennis ball, running, jumping or leaping...all of which she does.  That is probably how she did it.  She was running around in the dark last night and probably did it then.  Thank you all for your love and concern for her.  These Doodles are very very special to us all!  One big happy family!!

I hope it's nothing serious, and that it doesn't hurt for too long.  Fingers crossed here that it's just her toe.

Did Gracie doodle get into the egg nog???  Seriously, who knows what's up, but I hope her foot/toe is ok!

I think we are going to have to wrap them all up in bubble wrap!  Hope all is ok.  BTW, what do they do for a broken toe I wonder?
