Hi there,

I'm writing a note for the staff at the boarding facility. Since I don't board my dogs often, the staff doesn't really know my girls and I want to jot down some key points that they should be aware of, especially when the night shift people show up and they are different from the day shift people who I speak to in person.

Livie has a collapsed trachea - or tendency for it to collapse (I don't know the correct terminology). It has collapsed twice in the last 1.5 years (she is 10 years old). We went to the vet both times and she was put in an oxygen chamber and given some meds. both times, she started drinking a ton of water, coughing, and throwing up - that's what alerted me to run her to the vet.

What kind of instructions do you guys usually give to your boarding staff for things like this? For example, I'm going to ask them to never put anything around her neck (leash, collar, etc.). What else should I say?

Thanks!
