My little Charlie is still very sick.

We called a different vet 30 mins away last night and they wanted us to bring him in. We did and they tested him for Parvo. He is in the advanced stage but all the home nursing we did has helped him greatly. He lost some weight so now he is under 1lb. He is so tiny they tried doing the IV treatment but couldn't get it in his vein so they are doing Sub Q twice daily and it takes longer but it is something. Lots of poking on the poor little guy. We have had him only 1 week today but haven't got to enjoy him really for being so sick. I'm kinda frustrated at our vet here in town that he didn't even test Charlie for Parvo. We even called him at 1am one morning thinking he wasn't going to pull thru and he said not much we can do besides what your doing. Sooooooo please pray for Charlie that he will pull thru and we can bring him home

Thanks....

Well we were able to bring Charlie home today. He was home for an hour had a seizure in his sleep!

I ran to the cupboard gave him some Kayro syrup but he wasn't swallowing so we drove back to vet 25 miles away at 85 miles an hour. He was very limp and unresponsive. It was a very scary thing!! We are back home. Having to feed him via syringe every hour all thru the night also. Then for 3 to 4 days the same until he will eat well on his own. Poor little guy is so sore from saving him both times. I have had puppies before but have never gone thru anything like this! He is a fighter for making it thru all of this weighing less than a pound. Please pray for the little fella! Thank you

poor little man, this must be awful for you, thoughts and prayers from us

It's terrifying when your pet is sick, isn't it? The first two puppies I ever adopted years ago came from the pound and both had parvo at the same time. Both recovered and had no after effects, but I still remember how scared and exhausted I was.

I hope little Charlie has a speedy recovery.

Sending prayers for you and Charlie Boy. I hope he fully recovers! Stay strong and God Bless.

You poor thing and Charlie Boy too! You haven't gotten to enjoy him at all; with every moment being filled with fear that he is so ill.

I hope and pray that your vet can get him on the road to recovery.

Charlie_Boy · 12-09-2010, 11:07 AM

Thank you all for your kind words!!

Muchly appreciated! We made it thru last night. I feel like a zombie....At the 4am feeding I tried a different soft food for him and the last few feedings he has ate that on his own but now won't drink. So depending on how much he eats the vet says I may have to give him 1 more syringe of food and a syringe of water or pedialite. I know the poor little guy is sore from prying his mouth open all the time. Does anyone know if this is normal after recovering from Parvo?

Charlie_Boy · 12-09-2010, 11:09 AM

Oh wow...I couldn't imagine having two with Parvo!! Did they have to have a hospital stay?
