I don't know much about how they spay dogs in China, but I can't say I have ever heard of a dog requiring a four day hospital stay after this procedure. Here in the USA, most dogs will either go home the same day or the day after the procedure. Although a spay is an intra-abdominal procedure were an organ is removed, they tend to wake up well and not particularly painful. Unless they are using some method in China that is far more involved, I would think that the same day method is more in line with realistic.

It definitely takes time. Until they are all comfortable with each other, I would recommend keeping them separated unless you are able to give them your undivided attention. Dolly may be fine with cats, but that doesn't mean that your cats are okay with her! Make sure to avoid feeding everyone together and keep toys or treats away during this time, as Dolly may be protective of these things if a cat comes up to investigate.

Unfortunately there isn't a lot you can do in this situation since there is no substitute for insulin. You can wait until morning and go to your nearest vet who has some insulin on hand. I would also contact your local ER vet to see if they have some insulin readily available to give to you to hold you over until Shorty gets his supply in the mail. Another alternative is to have your vet call in a prescription to your nearest pharmacy (i.e. Walgreens, CVS) to give her until her supply comes in. She may just have an extra supply of insulin on hand, but that is better than having her blood sugar too high and potentially causing further complications (i.e. ketoacidosis) depending on how much longer she has to wait. Best of luck to you and getting Shorty's insulin delivered soon! If it comes in some time tomorrow, although not ideal, she will likely be just fine. Take care.

Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! It's really hard to say what Mayor's breed is. The color pattern in seen in Shepard, Rottweiler and Doberman mixes. I think it may be easier to tell as he grows. To me he looks like a shepherd mix. There are DNA tests you can buy over the counter, though I don't think they are super accurate they are at least fun to do. Below is a link to one kind. Congrats on your new puppy! https://www.chewy.com/wisdom-panel-30-breed-identification/dp/127224
