No I would not want her alone at the vet's. She would be better off with
someone (you) watching after her. My concerns are whether you have backup
if the vet is not open. I live in a rural area and finding vets off hours
here can be (at best) interesting. Nilla is such a lucky dog. I wish
I think you can go off now. Congratulations on your negative results!!
