First and foremost, PARVO is highly contagious and I hope you are not planning to add an additional puppy on May 15th! Please do not consider this as she will most likely get PARVO as well. It can live for a very long time (any one with how long??) even after Yoda has been cured.
You also said that Yoda is a mill rescue...............are you saying that you purchased him from a pet store that gets puppies from a mill and you bought him because you wanted to same him????? Or does this pet store sell mill rescue puppies?????
Finally, you said that the pet store wants to give you a new puppy. Do they want to take back Yoda and give you a puppy or just give you a second puppy for free???? I understand that you would not give him back which is good because he would be euthanized or left for dead if you were to give him back at this point. I am glad that you are taking care of him.
Did the vet explain to you how to disinfect your home to kill the PARVO virus? I believe this is very important step in making Yoda well. If you bring him home and reuse the puppy toys, blankets, bedding etc that he used while he had PARVO I do believe that he can get it back. You need to sanitize your entire home to kill the virus and there is also a length of time before adding any new animals to your home to keep them safe as well. |
I know it is easy to miss posts as a thread gets longer and sometimes I post before I read all the way through. But thought I wold help a bit as I understand.
She did not say from a pet store....she said for "the dreaded store." Then she clarifies in post #15 of this thread..."The dreaded store is a puppy mill!" So, she rescued the little one by buying him from the puppy mill which she also calls "the dreaded store."
From what I understand in her posts, the "store" wants to gie her another puppy and she still keeps Yoda. She thinks they want her to sell the new puppy to pay off the vet bills. She is contacting her attorney.
Not sure if the vet explained about disinfecting the house but several have mentioned that to her. Cannot imagine that a vet would let a dog still sick with parvo come home without the information. But as I understand it, he does still have parvo. They are in the midst of trying to clear it.
Hope ths helps -- and to the OP -- wish your little one well! I hope the mill comes through and pays another bill for you. You have your hands full girl -- praying for you both!
