No. No I don't think the OP knows. I think the OP, like many new owners had no clue as to how seriously dire the situation was.
I think they think it is just like themselves when they are ill, and that it's ok to have an upset tummy and be off your food for a day or two. I don't think most new owners know how life threatening it is in a young puppy. If they knew and were educated, they'd react appropriately. Now the OP knows. Hopefully that knowledge will be shared.
My ZoE was sick last year with liquid diarrhea late one evening. She's an almost 10lb yorkie and was a couple of years old. How quickly she went downhill scared the hell out of me. I was literally terrified that if I went to bed, I'd wake up to a dead dog in the morning. So I high tailed it to the ER vet hospital. Why? Because I understood the severity of the situation.
Hopefully other owners, read this thread and now understand why it's so important to act quickly. Because "when you know better, you do better."
