POOR BABY ~~! I'm so sorry she's so sick - and I have read that this can be treatable ...I'm really sorry about your husband too. There are quite a few posts here about this disease and lots of information on the net - but I think you MAY want to try a new vet if you feel things aren't happening the way they should -
it never hurts to get a 2nd opinion - and another voice on treatments....
Here's a few things I just found for you to read - and all the best - if you need more - there'll be people seeing this thread when they log on - it's usually sort of quiet on Sunday nights ...so be patient and keep checking this thread ok ?
GOOD luck and I Hope these links help you & things start looking better -

The dog may become very sick quickly and often needs intensive fluid and antibiotic therapy. http://mooreshaven.com/pets/dogs/saf...foodslist.html
