As this is your first post, welcome to FT.
I'm sorry to hear this happened to you. I don't have any experience regarding traveling with pets, so I'll defer to others here.
It's clear you you have performed your due diligence (before and after the "incident"), but that's just my opinion. Others might attack you and say you don't know what you're doing (because this is FT).
I don't mean to sound trite or sarcastic at all, but this might actually be something "CBC-able", if you will.
