 My dog beat parvo
Just to give you hope. First let me say I had a dog die of Parvo when I was 14. So when my son's boston terrier suddenly got ill I knew.... I just knew. I rushed her to the hospital... and it was. She was throwing up blood (I had been at the zoo all day or I might have caught it a couple of hours earlier). She was a bone when she finally came home... and it cost me about 800 (which may seem cheap but in podunk arkansas it isn't)... but she lived and THRIVES today. Although she still battles to keep wieght on ( I have to feed her Premium Edge... the only food on the market that she doesn't waste away on....even though she eats the others). It was 3yrs ago... she had had all her shots... it was a freak deal. Caught early... you are good.... pray and your baby has a good chance. Parvo basically sucks all the fluid out of their body. Saving a dog from parvo isn't as much about fighting the disease which is relatively easy... but fighting the dehydration caused by the illness... the faster your baby was on an IV the better! I'm praying...good luck!
Of course now every time my yorkie throws up I have a panic attack thinking it is Parvo... I have to beg the vet to test her... |
