Sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you. YorkieTalk didn't let me know I had new messages.
Each day gets a little bit easier. Thank you so much for your kind words. We are in the process of adopting a little dog that the vet had rescued the day I first got the results of Turner's ultrasound. They had to hold her there for 10 days to give her humans a chance to claim her--she was running free and had been hit by a car--and then she got kennel cough. She's taking her last dose of medicine for that and they are going to try to spay her today.
They said, if so, we can pick her up tomorrow. We're excited to bring her home, though I don't like that her first memory of being here with us will be of pain. I read that when dogs get better from kennel cough they're carriers for a few weeks. They said they'd get back to me on the kennel cough. Someone who coordinates their adoptions already got back with me a couple of days ago and said he was told that once she takes her last dose of "antibiotics," she shouldn't be contagious. Maybe she didn't have a viral kind of kennel cough?
I'm double checking because Annabelle hasn't been vaccinated for bordetella, though I read that sometimes older dogs build up immunity from small exposures. Fingers crossed. Never adopted an adult dog or rescue before. I've been reading up on how to introduce a new adult dog to your adult dog.
