How is your Chow Baby, RBW?

This is my pup and the one we fostered/then adopted earlier this year. All 3 of them love each other so much. They come from such different backgrounds, but they are thicker than thieves.
ETA: the pup has not had any more issues since she spiked the fever and spent 2 nights in the ER.
The other one has done great since she had the joint tap and has been on antibiotics for 6 weeks. I was very nervous about them doing the tap, but I guess it was the right thing to do. I could tell a difference immediately after the drew the fluid out. She limped for 2 months beforehand, and has been fine since.

So tired.
I spent part of the night and then an hour this morning at the Emergency Vet and then 2 hours at my regular vet, my youngest one has aspirate pneumonia. We took her to the beach yesterday and then after we got home she took took a bad tumble while getting her bath and trying to jump out of the tub. Shortly after that she went downhill fast. She became super lethargic and started vomiting, and then it started having blood in the vomit. I got her to the ER vet and they took Xrays and said they weren't as concerned about her vomiting as they were about her lungs. They showed me the xrays, her left lung looked terrible and they said she had some fluid in her abdomen. She was very tender on her abdomen, so I was worried that she had lacerated something when she jumped out of the tub and fell.
They kept her all night and put her in the O2 kennel. I had to go pick her up by 6:30 and transfer her to my regular vet this morning. They did an ultrasound, and don't think she has any lacerations, but they think she may have bruised her lung in the fall and then aspirated some of the vomit. She's on two different antibiotics, and antiemetic and sucralfate. FML.
The whole reason I agreed to take a puppy was because after 20 years of nothing but older rescue dogs, I thought it would be nice to also have a healthy youngster. This dog has been in the ER vet twice in 5 months.
