Well I came over today and went outside to look at her and she is very skinny I can see spine and all ribs.. But problem is he has bowls of food outside... She's just not eating.. My cousin said the not eating just started.. But that she's always been skinny... What do yall think is wrong I pulled ticks off of her..
Do u think she could have parvo?? She doesn't vomit as far as I know.. And what precautions do I take to insure I don't take it home to my dogs?? They are all vaccinated and up to date.. I spayed myself with lysol and only touched the dog w a glove....

I hope that you are able to get this puppy into a rescue. The thought of this puppy being outside in TX is very concerning. Many of the rescues that come to YHR are HW positive from lack of being on Heartworm preventative. It is very important for all dogs to take HW meds but a dog that is kept outside like this it is just dangerous and a possible death sentence. Please keep us posted on what is happening .

Hey just an update.. They missed the appointment.... It is rescheduled for today...

Vet said that the dog was fine... Except for being a little under weight... They said that was from her growing faster than her body could gain weight

Wow, good to know. Thanks for the update.
