Welcome to YT. I am so sorry to hear about your baby and you. I agree with those that say her age and weight will be a blessing in this case. I am so reluctant to take my babies anywhere and NEVER allow strangers to pet them. I have a sign that says DO NOT TOUCH and if I take a puppy ANYWHERE, especially the vet, I pin it to their blankie.
Never put your Yorkie is the cart at a pet shop. Pet Smart and others have a vet clinic attached which automatically means SICK dogs. NEVER put them on the floor to walk around. And, puppy classes in those places? FORGET IT!
An outbreak of PARVO closed our county animal control shelter a few years ago. A breeder in DC area sold many puppies who HAD been vaccinated (she said) and they became infected. anyhow. They gave NeoPar at 4 weeks but didn't work. Turns out it was in the soil of her horse farm and it was tracked in const.
How was your baby diagnosed? Did the vet find the virus? I am asking because as YorkieRose and i remember, a few years ago show crud made its rounds and several dogs were lost. Also, I bought 2 puppies who carried campylobacter-had they been treated as parvo they would not have survived. Thanx to Pat, I knew enough to ask my vet to check and treat for campy. Turned out that was the culprit.
Now, that I have hi-jacked your thread, I do apologize; but I wanted to get this info out. Now, I will go look for Parvo Gard.
And, say prayers for your baby..and those in charge of her care.. |
