So happy she is doing better and can come home. |
Parvo :)That is such wonderful news. It seems like your little one will make it. I'm a newbie to Yorkie Talk. I really enjoy it, but I'm getting paronoid. Tucker is my first Yorkie, and is the smallest dog I've ever had. I read about all of these horible things happening to Yorkies, and I'm so frightened. I don't know what I would do if I lost Tucker. I've never lost a young animal. They've all lived to a ripe old age. I look at Tucker, and pray that he will live as long as my others have. How can they get Parvo if they've been vacinated? Am I being a worry wart? We are very careful with him, and he seems healthy. He's 4 months old, and will probably be under 5 lbs when he's grown We love him so much. Are Yorlies more susceptible to all of these illneses, or is it just that they're all posted on this sight? |
Parvo We have a Border Collie that is Reesie's big buddy. Her name is Cindy. We had her spayed in her first year and she contracted Parvo while at the vet's. They put her on IV's for a few days and told us she wouldn't survive. We took her home as a long holiday weekend was coming up and there would be little support staff at the vet over the weekend. I try to think that the love and familiar surroundings is what did the trick. Cindy is now 10 years old, lightning fast all her life, happy, and she has a little buddy to watch out for in Reesie our three year old Yorkie. |
People need to be aware there is a new strain of Parvo called Parvo 2 that is coming into the US via Mexico (they think). The normal shots will not cover this new strain. I am aware of this because of friend of mine took her dog to a Dallas dog park and almost lost her little girl due to this. Her dog is now into a study with Pfizer to help determine a new vaccine. |

I'm not saying that article is legit or anything, I was just wondering. I found it quite informative. It does scare me a little, though because we go to the dog park almost every other day. Hmmm. |
oh! this is terrible :( i am so sorry for your situation. How did your baby get it? did she have all her shots or did she contract parvo before she was done with her series? im sure your baby will be fine since she is getting IV fluids which is very important so she doesnt dehydrate...here is a link that tells more about it...i think your baby have a better chance than 50%...i real they have more like an 80% chance of survival. please keep us updated and of course, we will be thinking good thoughts for you and your baby :) |

DAISYMAE UPDATE - sorry it took me so long :aimeeyorkWe brought Daisy home from the Hospital on Thursday. She is doing much better. The Vet said not to play with her for 3-4 days - they know she'll play because she's a puppy - but for US not to play WITH her. It's very hard not to play with her but we have to remind ourselves we almost lost her. The Vet finally admitted to us that we're very lucky to have her - they said that they really didn't think she would survive it since she is so small. Thank God she did. So far, so good. No problems yet. Thank you ALL so much for your support and prayers. May God Bless each and every one of you.:) |

Written: Sept 26 2008 While at the park this special girl was exposed to the new mutated strain of Parvo, now named Parvo 2 (c), which is suspect as coming in from Mexico and held on death's door for many weeks. The lot number from her vaccine was examined and found it did not provide coverage for this new mutated strain. Because she is only one of a handful of dogs who have contracted this new strain and lived, she now carries antibodies in her system to fight this and is involved in blood testing to help the Pfizer Labratories modify their vaccine so that other animals will not be put at risk. |
