This is an update regarding pulling and fostering from Miami-Dade -

My friend fostered a dog pulled from M-D and she was assured via a Facebook conversation the dog had been boarded for 10 days and given antibiotics - All of the records she received for the foster dog came from M-D - no info on boarding or meds -

This cannot be the case as several of her dogs became ill and one went to her personal vet -

After 3 days at the vet (dog went home at night) her vet suggested she take her dog to the University of Florida so at 6:15 last night I received a text she was taking Ayla to UF -

From texts I received beginning at 2 AM this morning:
2 AM she made it through a lung trachea and the vet was able to get samples to grow a culture - she has breathing tubes and nebulizer -

By 8:30 AM her breathing was better and she is back on several antibiotics
and her kidneys are also being monitored -

By 8 PM tonight Ayla was up and around a little and her kidneys are good so far and she is still on oxygen -

I wanted to post an update earlier but the foster dog went to the rescue today for an adoption event - several hours later my friend told the rescue she did not want the dog back and she needed to concentrate on getting her dogs well -

I didn't want to post something to YT and by some freak chance this would be mentioned on a FB post and the rescue involved saw it on FB before the foster dog went to the adoption event -

My friend had one other foster dog who is already on antibiotics [from an injury before my friend fostered her] and the rescue agreed to pick up the second dog and foster her too - she was picked up at 8 PM tonight -

Alya lost 12 pounds during this ordeal -

I feel really bad for my friend - I tried for several days to pull from Miami a few weeks ago but it never worked out - I have two little dogs that are around 12 pounds and my dad's yorkie is around the same weight too -

I really feel it was a blessing that we could not pull b/c I'm now wondering if a small dog would have survived this - Alya is 100+ pounds -

I will probably post another update when the culture results come back just for FYI -
