Hi there and thanks for posting on Boop by Petco! My suggestion is to have a friend or neighbor stop by a at least a couple times during the day while you are gone just to make sure Soska is doing okay and has enough food and water, is let outside to potty, and to watch Soska in case she goes into labor a few days early and should any problems arise. If a friend, family member, or neighbor can't be available, I would hire a sitter to stop by 2-3 times during the day while you are traveling. I hope this helps and thanks again for your post!

Soska is a beautiful dog! Young dogs (and breeds like German shepherds) do tend to require more exercise so if you don't have time to walk Soska daily you can try to take her out to play ball or fetch daily. This will help give her exercise and mental stimulation but won't be as time consuming as a walk. You can also see if there are any dog walkers or doggy day cares in your area to help give Soska more exercise a few times a week. Thanks for using Boop by Petco! Best of luck to you and and Soska!

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.

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.

Hello. You should really consider having Sweety evaluated by your veterinarian to make sure there are no more puppies inside. If there are, your veterinarian should ultrasound them to see if they are showing any signs of fetal distress. This will determine if an emergency C-section is necessary, We can see a bitch take up to 24 hours to deliver, but with such a small litter, & one non-viable pup, I would want to make sure all is well with Sweety. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.
