I recently had to board Beefy and Johnny due to a business trip to Florida. As we landed in Atlanta on our way back, I checked my phone and had a message waiting from the vet at the place where we had boarded them. The message stated Johnny had vomited 3 times that morning and fainted. I was freaked out! I talked to the vet as I ran through the terminal to catch my next flight in full blown tears. She couldn't explain what had happened and said they had him in a separate room for observation but said he was very pale and they were going to closely monitor him. When I arrived back home I rushed to pick them up and the place said he appeared to being better. I was very upset because this was the second time something had happened with this place. This first time I boarded them there, Johnny ended up with his whole neck raw. They couldn't explain that one either. I tried to give them the benefit of the doubt (they use a type of collar with the dogs info and I thought maybe he had a reaction to the sticky stuff on it) and that's why I boarded them with the same place this last time. So, here we are with a second incident, which to me was extreme. He was a perfectly healthy dog when I left him and they were telling me he was vomiting and fainting and they had no clue why. I demanded my dogs. They stunk to high h*ll so the first thing I did was give them a bath once I got home. Johnny's ears were nasty, beyond nasty. Brown gunky stuff, it was gross. Then while washing his booty, I noticed he was red and swollen around his tail. The vet gave me a zymox for his ears and just told me to keep his bum clean. Well, he got worse. So, apparently he has bacterial and fungal infections and they have him on 4 different type meds. Can someone tell me how my boy ended up with these infections? Can anyone explain the vomiting and fainting? He was perfectly healthy when I left him and now all I can do is cry. I feel so bad for boarding them in the first place but then for this to happen,,,, I feel like I failed him.
