I'm a nervous mom too, so I certainly understand what you are going through. The way most vet clinics do surgery is that we try to do all surgeries before 1 pm, so they have at least a few hours to recover before they are sent home. Most vets prefer to do dog spays first, so Sienna may already be done with surgery! Often, we do not call after each surgery is over, but will call after all surgeries are over for the day to verify pick up time. But every vet clinic does things differently, so I can't be sure how your vet clinic does things. I'm sure everything is going well, but if you really need to know if Sienna is done with surgery, you can always call to check on her. It certainly wouldn't be the first time an owner has called to check on their baby. Good luck! I hope that made you feel a little better. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

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.

Talk to the shelters about your situation.. Typically in an emergency situation, shelters are understanding as you are not alone and there will be several people in your shoes. Some shelters have volunteer vets that provide vaccine there.

Por favor, perdona mi horrible español! ¡Hola! Si bien estamos asociados con Petco, en realidad no interactuamos con sus tiendas o sus líneas de productos, por lo que tendría que contactar a Petco directamente con su pregunta. Algunos Petcos ahora tienen servicios veterinarios y pueden llevar productos de prescripción veterinaria. Si el suyo no lo hace, puede verificar en línea si hay farmacias para mascotas en línea que se lo envíen; solo necesita que su veterinario le envíe por fax o correo electrónico su receta. Me alegra saber que la comida ZD está funcionando bien y ¡gracias por tu pregunta!

It's always possible that any dog can have problems with delivery, so I recommend being prepared for that possibility financially. It's best to have the money set aside for an emergency c-section so it's there if you need it. Be sure to know the signs of problems with delivery, such as more than 30 minutes of intense contractions with no sign of a puppy, more than two hours between puppies being delivered, more than four hours between the onset of stage two of labor to delivery of the first puppy, more than 24 hours after a temperature drop below 100F with no puppies being born, 69 days gestation with no sign of labor, a greenish-black discharge (a sign the placenta has detached), and a bloody discharge before the first puppy is born or between puppies. Any of those signs, and Gemma will need to see a vet immediately.
