Hi, everyone. I could really use some positive thoughts and prayers. I'll start at the beginning- I was a surrogate for a friend and I delivered her twin girls about a month ago, very early. They were born at 27 weeks. They are still in the hospital having their ups and downs, and my emotions have been all over the place. After much thought, I decided to get a new yorkie. Having something to rock and cuddle and focus my attention on would really benefit me, and I had been thinking about it for so long.. what better time than this?
So, I finally picked up my sweet baby 2 days ago! She is only 8 weeks which does seem a bit young, but she has stolen my heart. My kids completely adore her.
About 12 hours ago, she had a pretty vile episode of diarrhea. I chalked it up to stress, because she had just been transported across state lines. But then she started vomiting and having more diarrhea, and she was refusing to eat or move from her bed. I rushed her to the emergency vet at midnight, where they did a parvo test. It immediately came up positive, and I lost it. I started sobbing like a fool. She was so expensive, and now this vet bill will be another huge cost, with no guarantee that she will pull through! I'm not sure where I'm going to be able to pull 2 grand (or more) from. I'll figure it out, but I am just devastated right now. I could really use some positive outcome stories, or even just some internet hugs. I am so worried. I'm going to go visit her later in the morning, but the vet warned me that she will get much worse before she gets better.. *if* she gets better.
