We called and made an appointment for early the next day and gave Hadlee some Gatorade. We left for walmart to buy some rice cereal we could try and feed her when we got back she rolled over in her cage and acted like her normal self wanting someone to rub her belly and pet her she even ate some lunch meat for us. Later that night she seemed to be fine her appetite didn't increase but she was walking trying to play and even went outside to pee and poop (solid), then around 6am Saturday she started dry heaving in bed so I got up and got ready to take her to the vet when we arrived Hadlee seemed fine she was trying to growl at this lady she didn't know that was too close to me trying to protect me. In the examine room I asked for a parvo test and told them what happened she did the exam and looked over Hadlee said her heart sounded fine that her tummy was growling and that she didn't seem to be dehydrated she took the text and said it would take 12 mins she came in 8 mins later and said it was positive for parvo of course it broke my heart I cried and had a hard time giving her to the vet keep in mind she's been glued to my side for 16months and I love her more than words can explain but I've never been without her by my side, but I guess the real reason I'm posting this is to know if anyone has had anything similar to this happen to them and have it end on a happy note because the alternative is breaking my heart at the moment and I'd appreciate all the prayers you can send Hadlee's way!!! Thank you for reading this. |
I'm sorry to hear about Hadlee, when we were stationed at Fort Knox, or neighbors had two rotties that were barely 2 months old. They bitty died the same day. The dam was hospitalized because they just knew she had it as well. She was in the vet hospital for over a week and then died herself. It was heartbreaking. My question was why not vaccinate?
