- Broken Legs
- >You have a blue pegasus fluffy pony mare
- >You love her, you even had her spayed to prevent unwanted foals
- >That was expensive, but what wouldn't you do for your beloved fluffy?
- >Lately though, she's been asking about her wings
- >You explain her that they're more cosmetical than practical
- >That she can't really fly
- >She buzzes them intensely, but they don't generate any lift
- >She gets a little depressed
- >You give her lots of spaghetti to lighten her up
- >And play with her
- >It works
- >Almost
- >One day she just decides that she can fly
- >She's munching down spaghetti on the kitchen table
- >Bad choice
- >You turn around to get something from the fridge
- >And she jumps down while buzzing her wings
- >Thud!
- >Cracking noise
- >"WAAAAAAH! NUUUU! HUWT!"
- >She's laying on the floor, belly down, buzzing her wings and screams in immense pain
- >You quickly, but gently, pick her up
- >"DADDY! BIG OUTCHIES! WEGGIES HUWT!" she cries
- >You sit down and examine her legs
- >One of them is bent in an odd angle
- >You gently touch it
- >She screams in pain, "OWIEEEE! No huwties! Pwease!"
- >You poke the other legs
- >She squirms in your hands and screams
- >"Nuuuu! Daddy no huwties! Weggies huwt!" she screams and cries
- >You didn't realize how much it would hurt
- >"Oh! Sorry, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to hurt! Why did you jump?"
- >"Fwuffy wan fwy! Fwuffy jump! No wan ouchies!"
- >Every fluffy pony owner's worst nightmare is a broken fluffy pony leg
- >Because breaking a leg is probably the worst thing that can happen to fluffy
- >Breaking all four legs is a catastrophe
- >And it seems you're in the middle of that catastrophe, right now
- >No time to waste
- >Grab car keys
- >Drive to the vet, while petting her head with one hand as she lays on your lap and cries
- >She tries to wiggle them, causing more pain as the fractured bones rub against each other
- >"Shh! Don't move your legs!"
- >"Huwt! Daddy hewp! Weggies huwt! Waaah!"
- >Examination and x-rays confirm your fears
- >All four legs really are broken
- >One of them is entirely in two pieces
- >The other three are full of fractures of various sizes
- >Vet suggests euthanizing the fluffy
- >He explains that while fluffy pony bones do heal, it's a very slow process
- >The bones, even if they heal, can be even more fragile than before
- >And fluffies are difficult to keep alive through that
- >And it is very expensive
- >It has been done only a few times in the world, because it's cheaper to just get a new fluffy pony
- >You look at your sobbing fluffy
- >She looks at you with her big eyes
- >"Daddeeh... hewp. Weggies ouchie. Pwease hewp." she sobs
- >Gently pet her head
- >It saddens to see your fluffy suffer so much, but you don't want to lose her
- >You've made your decision
- >"Do it. Fix her legs. I'll pay."
- >okay.jpg
- >Fluffy gets anesthetized
- >After hours of work, her legs have been aligned and wrapped in tiny casts
- >Plastic bars and leather straps render her legs completely immobilized
- >That was expensive!
- >But your fluffy pony's wellbeing is important to you
- >Take her back home
- >While she's still out, you squeeze her empty from shit and urine
- >You're gonna have to do that a lot from now on
- >Then put her on a pillow
- >Slowly, she wakes up
- >"Waaah...?"
- >She tries to wiggle her legs
- >"Wah? Why... why... no weggie move? Weggie huwt!"
- >"Shh. Your legs were broken, but don't worry, they're fixed now. You just have to lie down for some time for them to heal."
- >"Weggies? Why weggie no move? Ouchie! Fwuffy wan weggies!"
- Sigh...
- >It takes you a while, but she finally understands the situation
- >At least you hope so
- >"When weggies back?" she asks
- >"A few months, at least"
- >You're not sure if she understands what a "month" is, but she begins to cry
- >You gently hug and pet her as best as you can do
- >The casts and plastic speaders kinda get in the way
- >You make her spaghetti
- >Feed her, one spaghetti strand at a time
- >It takes hours, but what wouldn't you do to your beloved fluffy?
- >Days pass, she slowly becomes accustomed to the situation
- >It saddens you to leave her home alone, but you have work to do
- >She sleeps most of the time, though
- >You leave TV on, playing cartoons non-stop so she has something to do if she wakes up
- >You have to squeeze the shit out of her, literally
- >Most of the time you're at home she lays on your lap while you pet and brush her
- >Despite the situation, she coos happily
- >You do your best to keep her happy
- >You can't tickle her legs, so you tickle her wings
- >She buzzes them happily and giggles
- >She no longer asks about her legs, even though she can see them all the time
- >Days turn into months
- >You take her to the vet many times
- >X-rays confirm it
- >The bones are slowly healing
- >The vet can hardly believe his eyes, "Never though I'd see that."
- >You obviously CAN keep your fluffy alive through this
- >Finally, after almost four months, the big day comes
- >The bones have healed and it's time to free her from her gypsum prison
- >She has to be sedated, again, because she panics when she sees the cutting saw
- >Vet skilfully cuts the casts and removes them
- >The legs are indeed fully healed
- >Vet takes photos and documents everything
- >He says your fluffy is a "medical miracle"
- >Take the sleeping pony home
- >Slowly, she wakes up
- >"Look, your legs are back!"
- >She looks at her stubby legs
- >"Wah?
- >"Your legs. You got them back. You can walk again!"
- >Pick her up
- >Her legs just hang from her belly
- >"Wah? Wha wegs?"
- >"Come one, try walking a little. They're weak, so you have to exercise them."
- >Gently put her down on her legs
- >She promptly falls over
- >"Hey. Come on. You wanted your legs."
- >Despite your numerous attempts, you can't get her to stand up
- >She doesn't seem to know how to use legs
- >She looks at them
- >"Wha dis?"
- >"Legs. They're your legs. Remember?"
- >Fluffy looks at the legs intensely, puzzled
- >Then at you
- >"Wha wegs?"
- >You realize it
- >She doesn't remember anymore what legs are
- >Days pass
- >She still does not walk
- >She just lies down and doesn't move
- >She can't even stand on her own
- >The legs are fully healed, albeit very weak
- >But she just doesn't know what to do with them anymore!
- >She has forgotten what "walking" is
- >You try to teach her how to walk, but she doesn't learn
- >You manually exercise her legs, exercise the tiny muscles
- >"Daddeeh! No wan weggies! No wan wawk!" she complains and tries to squirm away
- >You show her videos of fluffy ponies walking and running
- >She doesn't understand what she's seeing
- >In a vain attempt, you even reset her
- >It doesn't work
- >She just won't walk anymore
- >One night, after she has fallen asleep, you realize it's pointless
- >She won't walk ever again
- >Removing her legs would have been cheaper
- >This is the reason why fluffies who break their legs are usually euthanized
- >Or have their legs amputated
- >Tomorrow you're taking her to the vet again
- >Tomorrow she'll become a quadruple amputee
