I don't know much about how they spay dogs in China, but I can't say I have ever heard of a dog requiring a four day hospital stay after this procedure. Here in the USA, most dogs will either go home the same day or the day after the procedure. Although a spay is an intra-abdominal procedure were an organ is removed, they tend to wake up well and not particularly painful. Unless they are using some method in China that is far more involved, I would think that the same day method is more in line with realistic.

Unfortunately there isn't a lot you can do in this situation since there is no substitute for insulin. You can wait until morning and go to your nearest vet who has some insulin on hand. I would also contact your local ER vet to see if they have some insulin readily available to give to you to hold you over until Shorty gets his supply in the mail. Another alternative is to have your vet call in a prescription to your nearest pharmacy (i.e. Walgreens, CVS) to give her until her supply comes in. She may just have an extra supply of insulin on hand, but that is better than having her blood sugar too high and potentially causing further complications (i.e. ketoacidosis) depending on how much longer she has to wait. Best of luck to you and getting Shorty's insulin delivered soon! If it comes in some time tomorrow, although not ideal, she will likely be just fine. Take care.

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I am sorry Sam isn't doing well! I think at this point Same needs to be seen before Monday. Since he is now vomiting for 2 days and not eating that is more concerning than just diarrhea. Possible causes for these signs are: viral or bacterial infections, foreign body, dietary indiscretion (ate something gross), toxins, intestinal parasites. He may need blood work and X-rays of his belly to help find out the exact reason. I recommend bringing a stool sample with you if you can. I would stop trying to give him the probiotic and the antibiotic since he is vomiting. I hope this helps and I wish Sam the best!

I would suggest to vaccinate with both of them when you are back or earlier (either on 22nd or 26th). Generally speaking it is fine to vaccinate with both the same day. No side effects with early vaccination.

Congratulations on your new puppy! Yes, a boarding facility would not be ideal since Gunner is likely not completely vaccinated. That leaves with you a couple options; having a friend or family member house sit/ puppy sit or having a dog walking or dog sitting service stay with him or come in several times a day for walks, feeding, play etc.
