@roger2000 I’ve had a few foster dogs come to me with kennel cough. It’s always cleared up quickly, and without issue, with a round of antibiotics. Unless she gets worse, I don’t think there’s any reason to worry.
@ashiedu I’m also going to ask about trial boarding my dog for a night BEFORE I go out of town. I think would help put my mind at ease. I could pick her up if needed. And would be the best way to figure out if she can be boarded there.
@ashiedu I have used them for some vet visits, before surgery, and for some long car rides closer to when I first adopted her. I had a small amount remaining but not enough for the assessment days and boarding. Used them on my last dog as well. There’s no excuse for me not thinking of it before...
@ashiedu Great idea! I actually do have both gabapentin and trazadone on hand. Somehow didn’t think of it before the first visit. Will try and reach my vet today and run it by him but it should be fine. Think I’d need refill of trazadone.
@ashiedu report card
She was conditionally approved, meaning she has to spend more time there before she can be boarded. So we’ll try again Thursday. “Kita is a bit on edge in this building. She is looking to react at dogs and is a little bit unsettled in her room. Let’s see if a few more...
@felipe_ I live in metropolitan area as well with a lot of options. I have a month to figure something out but I’m finding it super stressful :( I first went with this place because my dog’s guardian angel from the shelter (she works there and is basically the reason my dog managed almost a year...
@childman So it’s a daycare place that also does boarding. She wouldn’t participate in daycare at all but it means there’ll be a ton of dogs on the premises. I’m picking her up in an hour. Fingers crossed she’s doing okay! Edit: I guilt bought her a new bed on my way home after leaving her there...
@thomask I would much prefer this but, unfortunately, it’s not an option with my living situation. I rent a lower level apartment in a house and the homeowner isn’t comfortable with a stranger at the house. So the deal is I’m out of the country for a week and a half. Homeowner is watching my dog...
My reactive dog will spend 4-5 hours at this daycare/boarding place to be assessed for whether she’s suitable for boarding there. I have been obsessively overthinking everything. I’m pretty much exhausted at this point. Hoping to hear some positive feedback from people with both dog reactive...
