[nagdu] Dogs and hospitals

[Pickrell, Rebecca M (TASC)]

This assumes that you go home when the illness starts. 

Anybody ever seen the kaksee virus? 
Scary as hell and comes on very suddenly.  

My daughter came down with it at daycare. 

I first had to convince the nurse that no, it wasn't a cold, yes, this illness was really bad, and that she needed to be seen by somebody and that it had to happen right. now.
It's easy to say "leave the dog at home" when home is where you are, or "leave the dog with family" assumming you aren't the only one on watch that night.

Yeah, that was me too, because only one person at a time could go in until 
she was stable, I had family to hold Nyla while I went in there.  But if I 
had been there on my own I would have just left her at home.

When I left Holly in the waiting room there was family to hold on to her.
When noone else was coming I left her home.
