Toby was diagnosed Wed. With Parvo. I thought for sure that he wouldn't make it because he was so small and sick. However, the vet said if his white blood cell count was good then he had better than a 50/50 chance. His counts were pretty good and I went ahead with the treatment. Today the vet said he will recover and I can take him home tomorrow!

When I was looking I couldn't find many cases where the puppy survived so I wanted to share. I'm so happy! I'm also really lucky I took him in as soon as he showed signs of being sick. The first 48 hours are critical according to my vet . Many puppies are already too dehydrated and have become too weak by the time they are brought in. Better safe than sorry. If your puppy is lethargic and has diarrhea and vomiting... Please go to the vet ASAP.

I also believe prayers help. Thank you to all that said one for Toby.
