I'd ask the vet for specifics. Roughly speaking, I understand that kennel cough is often accompanied by some underlying virus. Perhaps they did some lab work--especially since they performed surgery.
Bless you, bless you, bless you. Thank you for the update. |
Thank you. (I didn't know you had posted again. YorkieTalk used to email me when someone posted on a thread I was following.) As far as I know she hasn't been spayed yet and I don't know if they've tried to figure out which virus or bacteria caused her kennel cough, but since they confirmed that she could possibly be a carrier for several weeks, I made the decision to release my claim on her.
My first responsibility is to the dog I still have and I would never forgive myself if something happened to her because
I wanted another dog. Annabelle sometimes goes into a breathing spasm which may be a reverse sneeze but could also be a problem beginning with her trachea, which I know Yorkies are prone to. If so it's really mild because it happens very infrequently but why tempt fate?
If the little shelter dog is still available after six weeks, I will bring her home. But I wouldn't want her to be in a cage for another six weeks, even if they were willing to do that, which they aren't. We are all in agreement there. The person I talked to said that maybe they could find a foster for her, but that's not certain.
I was sad to let her go but feel I made the right decision for all concerned. I've heard that little dogs go fast there and that doggie deserves a home as soon as possible. I'm taking a what-will-be-will-be attitude.
Thank you again for your kind thoughts.
