Sienna has gone in for a spay we left her at 9 am and they had her pre an shot before we left. When should they be doing surgery for her to go home at 4:30 pm that’s when they said they’d be done and I am a bit panicking so it’ll help me be calm if I
I'm a nervous mom too, so I certainly understand what you are going through. The way most vet clinics do surgery is that we try to do all surgeries before 1 pm, so they have at least a few hours to recover before they are sent home. Most vets prefer to do dog spays first, so Sienna may already be done with surgery! Often, we do not call after each surgery is over, but will call after all surgeries are over for the day to verify pick up time. But every vet clinic does things differently, so I can't be sure how your vet clinic does things. I'm sure everything is going well, but if you really need to know if Sienna is done with surgery, you can always call to check on her. It certainly wouldn't be the first time an owner has called to check on their baby. Good luck! I hope that made you feel a little better. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Can you please tell me about adopting shelter dogs and how to take care of them and how to introduce the dog to my household? Just in case I decided to adopt a German Shepherd or Husky or Lab. Thank you!
Adopting a new dog is so much fun! Whenever bringing a new dog into the home, it should be done slowly with the existing animals already there to make the transition smoothly. The new dog should be kept separated from the other animals when home alone to avoid any problems, and their interactions should be monitored when you are home so you can separate them at any problem. I'm not sure if you have any additional animals in the home, but if you have cats for example, it's normal they will hiss at the dog. Do not allow them to swipe at the dog, separating them right away if you notice the cat getting upset. Also do not allow the dog to chase the cats. If you don't have any other animals in your home, then just be patient with the dog as it acclimates to his new house. Moving into a new home can be stressful, and some dogs may not eat or drink at first. This will pass in time. Shelter dogs should be taken care of just like any other dog: Fed twice a day, make sure they are up t

My dog barks and whines when my mom goes into kitchen. He just won't stop barking until my mom comes out of the kitchen after she finishes cooking and washes dish. We don't allow him inside home except at nights. So he stands out and barks until mom
I recommend that you or your Mom feed him his dinner when she goes into the kitchen to cook. Then he will wait for her to cook and be happy because he knows he will get fed at that time. You can also give him a chew toy or play fetch or tug with him to take his focus off her. Another trick is to fill a Kong toy with peanut butter or cheese whiz so they take a long time licking it out and it will keep him busy instead of barking. Thanks for using Boop by Petco to help you care for Damon.

What should I expect from 2 pregnant dogs that have very close due dates?
Hi there and thanks for posting! If your two pregnant dogs have close due dates, then I would prepare for them both giving birth on the same day or within a few days of each other. I would be sure someone is home around the week of their due dates in case there is a problem during delivery. Having a few extra hands to help out with lots of puppies would be good idea! Getting your veterinarian's office phone number and after hours number in case there is a problem would be recommended as well. They may find their own unique places to deliver, but I would recommend having a whelping box you can purchase or make yourself for each of them to find refuge in during their delivery. Best of luck to you!

My dog is suddenly pooping in the house especially at night, whereas she used to wake me up if she needed to go out. She has been switching between solid-ish stool to diarrhea the last 2 days and has been chewing her paws for the last week. Do I need
These signs could be compatible with a colitis, which is an inflammation of the last part of the colon, usually related to dietary indiscretion. As a first approach, I would suggest to start feeding with a bland diet based on boiled chicken and rice in small portion every 6 hours for the following 48hours. Then gradually reintroduce the normal diet over 5 days. I would definitively recommend a veterinary check up if the signs persist or you notice vomiting, lethargy or inappetence.
