I order mine now from Revival, distemper and parvo only.

From what I have read cats do not get parvo, they get something called Panleukopenia Virus and it is not transmitted to dogs. I guess if you ever have stray dogs in your yard you could have tracked it in that way. I still have to wonder if the puppy actually has parvo. If she does then I would be concerned about the other puppies. Has this puppy had anything stressful going on the last few days prior to being sick? Often puppies can be in contact with the parvo virus but not have an outbreak until they get stressed about something.

Nothing really stressful as far as I know...for the most part it's been business as usual around here. And yeah, we are very concerned about the other pups...I got vaccines from the vet Friday night and administered them as soon as I got home. We are hoping that giving them the vaccine will help to counteract the virus, if they have it.

Just wanted to give a little update on Kya. She is still at the vet, but ate small amounts twice today, with no vomiting or diarrhea. They are keeping her overnight again, to continue meds, but may let her come home tomorrow if she continues to do well.

So far the other pups seem well. All have good appetites and are very playful. We will continue to watch over them and hope for the best. Thank you everyone for your hopes and prayers.

Thanks so much for the update. I am glad she is showing improvement. I pray she makes a speedy recovery. Please keep us updated.

Yay! The clinic called just a few minutes ago, and Kya is doing great! She's eating and drinking, and hasn't vomited or had diarrhea since Sunday evening. They're gonna monitor her for a few more hours, but if all goes well, I'm going to pick her up at 2 this afternoon! Thank you all so much for your prayers!

That is great news!

Hopefully the other will be just fine too. Thanks for the update.

Yes, thanks! When I picked her up she was so excited! Tail wagging and licking. When we got home she wandered around a bit, then after a little while I gave her a bath (she stunk something terrible!). That must've worn her out, so I put her in her crate, got her comfy, and she had a good nap for a couple of hours. She's eating a drinking some, just small amounts at a time, but at least she is doing it. She's pretty worn out, after playing a few minutes, she needs to lie down and rest, but overall, I think she's doing pretty well for what she's been through!

That is such a relief, I am so glad to hear that she is doing so much better.
Thank goodness you took her as soon as you did. Noticing a difference in our babies behavior is so important. I am so glad that she has a responsible owner who cares for her!

Poor baby, well send prayers your way for your babies continued health

I think if God meant to have her keep him company, she would already be gone!

steph77 · 03-26-2009, 10:03 AM

I just wanted to thank you all again for the well wishes and prayers, not to mention the words of wisdom! My husband and I appreciate it so much!

Today, Kya is more like her old self...she's playing and running around with her sisters just like normal. She's even been climbing onto the bottom shelf on the end tables in the living room and barking and howling at the other pups....like a puppy version of king of the mountain, lol.

Oh it brought tears to my eyes hearing you describe how much better your little one is doing. It just breaks my heart to hear of any Yorkie being sick. I will remember your little one in my prayers
