I left my dog with City Pet Center over the 2008 holiday (10 days total). I picked him up last night, and at the kennel he seemed kind of lethargic. I chalked it up to him being homesick and sad about his bath earlier that day (he's not a fan of baths). When I got him home, he would not get out of the car or even stand up. I then notices a puncture wound on one of his back knees, oozing infection. I lifted him out of the car, and walked him home. He limped the 1/2 block to the house, and had loose stool 2 times. He went straight to bed when he got home, and I proceeded to examine him and clean his wound. He seemed bony, and as if he had a fever. All of his joints were scabbed over as if he has been sleeping on concrete (I had brought a nice, thick bed with him to the kennel). He was also dehydrated.
Pros: Close to downtown
Cons: The neglected and injured my dog
