Hi Jill
I hope I never have to experience this situation. I do know that our dogs are either Pet Partners or Love on a Leash and they both carry a 1Million dollar insurance policy for this reason. We have a copy of both on file in our legal department.
I called both my organizations, and they said that they would give the dog a 2-month break. Plus, the dog would need a trip to the vet to determine if they are well. The pet handler should have filled out a report before they left the hospital. You would need to get a copy of that report. I hope this helps some.
