Just prayed for a miracle for your baby to be perfectly fine. Will continue praying for him.

Right now we will just keep praying for Mac and you and your family. Update when you can.

Contact me if you'd like.
We went through this with Noah at 8 weeks... And 1 pound. If he can survive it, Mac can! Noah never vomited until after he was at the vet 4 days, and never had diarrhea-still has never had diarrhea and he's 7 months old now. I took him in for routine shots and he had a reaction. Parvo was one of the tests they ran, and it came back positive. Not to scare you but he was at the vet 12 days and total cost was around $7500.00
Vaccines fail-that's why they make boosters and do titer tests. While the chances of a vaccinated dog getting the virus are slim, it's still possible. You can research this and find proof all over the internet. Heck children with vaccines still get sick with things they've been vaccinated against. I would still have your other 2 dog tested. If they've been exposed, they could have it, especially your girl pup if she hasn't had a full set of vaccines.

I'm just now seeing this thread. Very sorry to hear about all this. My thoughts and prayers are with your sweet Mack brown. Hope to hear he's doing better soon!

I am so curious, prob cause i work at a veterinary clinic. Why did it look like a blockage in xrays? The barium should have still went through normally if it was parvo. IT doesnt go together....

Also, make people take their shoes off at the door-it can be brought in on shoes. Make them wash their hands before handling bevo or bryleigh and especially after picking up any waste products. Your yard will need to be bleached as well, the dogs have gone to the bathroom there and since the virus lives in the feces, they can pick it up from feces on the ground as well as soil.

Talk to your vet about probiotics if/when they're giving antibiotics. Also see what his white blood cell count is. The higher the better for fighting off infections. If it gets too low, you might want to consider a transfusion. Dogs rarely die from the parvovirus itself, they die from the sepsis of the virus eating through their intestines and spilling waste into their body. The antibiotics will help fight this. If they don't have him on one, he needs it now...before it's worse. IV fluids are a must, as well as glucose, so his sugar doesn't drop. If he spikes a fever, his IV needs to be run through cold water to help lower it. Fever means infection and infection is bad!!

When it came time for Noah to start back on food, we got plain chicken baby food. Beechnut brand and spoon fed him. He wouldn't eat what they left in his bowl. I put him in a towel and put him in my shirt and talked to him and held him and did "skin to skin" contact. It does wonders for NICU babies. See if your vet will allow it. I can't say it works 100%, but it can't hurt.

If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I'll give you my number and can talk. Denise can vouch for me that I'm not a crazy lunatic lol.

Parvo can cause the intestines to funnel and fold back on themselves from the inside out. Had they done a parvo test first, they would have figured it was this and not a blockage. Since he's had a full set of vaccines, parvo wasn't looked at and the xray showed what probably looked like a blockage

Thanks, i have never heard of that

Prayers and good vibes going out to Mack for a complete and speedy recovery. Hang in there Kendra !!

From your friends North of the border.

Just reading this thread. Sending prayers that our little Mac gets better fast! And that mommy is ok!

Sending prayers your way!

The barium stopped at his tummy.... Never went to his small intestines after 4 1/2 hours, so that's why he thought he had a blockage. Bryleigh has had 4 sets of shots and her rabies. She is 4 1/2 months old. Both her and Bevo are acting/playing great.

I'm about bleaches out!! I have washes all beds, blankets, toys, food and water dishes, floors, baseboards, etc.... Been bleaching everything for the past 3 hours.!!! At least it keeps my mind busy....

Someone mentioned my yard needing bleached.... My crew doesnt go outside. They do have a 10x10 gazebo type "yorkie yard" with playground mulch that is temporarily closed. We are going to shovel out all the mulch and replace it tomorrow. I'm guessing he picked it up at the vet last Friday when he went for his neuter..... I just don't know

I apologize for the typos.... I keep posting off my iphone

You need to remove 12-18 inches down and replace. I would bleach the heck out of it once you dig it out as well. Don't take any chances! Any place they've used the bathroom needs bleached/cleaned. Our vet sells a product you can spray on your clothes, but will still kill it and other viruses. They spray themselves after handling any and all animals.

Good news is, once he's had it, he is immune and won't get it again. Possible he picked it up at the vet. That stuff is hard to kill, easy to spread and resilient as all get out.

Good luck!

Thanks.... There us actually a tarp under the mulch. They hardly ever go out there.... Maybe once a week if that. They are potty pad trained and unless the tinkle out there on occasion, they never use it for a potty. We are still goin to change it all out just in case....

Kendra - I am just now seeing this as I did not get on yesterday. I will be saying lots of prayers for little Mack Brown. I so hope everything works out and you can bring your baby home soon. Please keep us updated on his condition.

I will say a prayer for your precious little guy! He sure has been through a lot in the past weeks and now fighting parvo. I know of a couple of dogs that have recovered from parvo, so don't lose hope. Hugs to you...I'm so sorry you and Mack are going through this.

Still praying for little Mack Brown. Hope the news later today will be good.

Prayers for Little Mack.

Just spoke with the vet.... Mack had a "good" night. He has not vomited or had any diarrhea at all. Of course he has nothing in his tummy. She said he is still very lethargic which is normal considering what he's gone through. He is receiving alot of iv fluids, and antibiotocs. They will offer his some water around 4 to see if he can hold it down.... I got the first bit of reassurance.... She said she thought he was going to male it....so many tears for my little guy. Please keep praying.... There's power in prayer, and thank you all

That is good news, Kendra. I feel like we all love little Mac, since we have all shared in his life from the beginning. Sending special prayers for Mac to get well so he can go home and hug his mommie.

oh I am so glad you got good news Kendra!!... hang in there little mac we all love you!!

Yes we do..I am so glad that you got a bit of assurance on him

Just checking in for updates. Glad he had a good night. We will keep praying. Everyone is right we love Mac, we have peen apart of his life since day one and feel like we know him personally. And You and I have shared a few PMs when I had Bonnie Blue, so I feel a special kinship to you too. I know how very much you love your Yorkies. Your kind words when I had to put my 18 year old Noah to sleep, were just what I needed that day. So We, The Just Right Yorkie Gang send lots of love, hugs, to you and sweet Mac Brown.

Hoping Little Mack is doing well, your all in our thoughts.

Kendra that is wonderful news!! The power of prayer is a wonderful and amazing thing. Gonna keep that special little boy in my fervent prayers.

So glad he had a good night still sending prayers!!!

Great news! Kendra, you're absolutely right ... there is power in prayer. I woke up around 2-2:30 AM and he was my first thought and I agree with the vet ... I believe he is going to make it. Will continue to pray for your tough little guy. :thumbup::thumbup:

That is such a good report that he could hold down some water. I'd be pretty encouraged at that news. The fact that he's not way worse after undergoing anesthesia and surgery with this disease too is so encouraging! What a strong fighter he must be!!! I can't get over it. Prayers are still going up to God to bless and save little Mack.

Sounds like pretty good news. Still keeping you all in my prayers.
I know that you house is steril by now. Let us know how Bevo and Bry are doing.
