I'm so glad that you adopted from Pets, Inc. I volunteer for them and know that they will help you as much as they can. I also know that all animals have had initial vacinations before being adopted. I'm sure that you received a list of the shots that will be administered and the spay surgery they will pay for.

The food they sell at the center is one of the best brands according to the people who do independent studies. I personally don't use it, but IS a good brand. When her tummy settles down, keep her to a schedule of feeding (three times a day) and don't give her human food from the table. A few treats are OK, but give them in her bowl. Make her work for biscuits or other treats by sitting. This way she won't become a begger.

Rather than trying to break her from going to the door and pawing when she wants out, why not give her a bell to ring. And be sure to take or let her out when she needs to go out. That will let her know that she's doing a good thing. If you don't listen now, she may decide that it doesn't matter to you where she piddles.

Zoomies are normal after a bath. Even my almost-15 year old does it. Really fun to watch if you don't mind a wet sofa, bed, etc. With all of the pollen in the air, a good daily brushing might be a good idea. It will get rid of most of the pollen and she will get used to grooming at the same time.

It's too bad you had to go to the emergency room yesterday. Pets, Inc. might have been able to advise you what to do or where to go that would have been cheaper, but Easter is only one of two days a year that they are closed, Christmas being the other. If you ask the staff, they can give you the name of a vet in your area.

It sounds as if Jager had a little too much excitement. Her tummy should settle down soon.

There are some very knowledgeable people on the Pets, Inc. staff and a whole lot more here at Pet Talk. Welcome!
