In the end, it took 8 hours to get Emma to the emergency vet and then seen/treated. They gave her an antibiotic, anti-nausea, and saline injection after I said I'd book an appointment with her regular vet ASAP to do a bunch of needed follow-up bloodwork.

While I waited to pick her up, I watched a father and two daughters troop inside of the clinic, which can't be a good sign. Later, they trooped back out again, the daughters crying, no animal in sight.

What a challenging environment to work in. At least they don't have to deal with an endless stream of dying people expressing regrets about failing to get a certain vaccine.

Emma mostly just slept overnight and is still mostly just sleeping/resting today. Not eating a ton. The follow-up appointment is in progress. It was still the right decision to bring her in yesterday; if she was indeed experiencing an infection it would only have gotten worse.
