| when you are there, get his head to your chest, your heartbeat is comforting to him..he will know you love him..if you can, get him a Snugglepuppy! He is absolutely adorable, puppy prayers for Louie and family. Also, please keep yourself well, eat, drink lots of water, breathe...this stress is a doozy and can wear you out fast. Your Louie is with a vet you trust, you are doing all you can to save the little guy and you are a wonderful puppy mommie!

See if the vet will allow you to hold him. We did skin to skin contact (works for NICU babies) and I basically tucked him into my shirt and I rocked him and talked to him and sang to him and let him know how important he was to our family.

| Louie's Mom Hello all! I'm sorry I couldn't get back to you all sooner on an update on my pup but it seems as if there was an issue with the system and my other account was deleted! The veterinarian has called us four different times today giving updates on Louie. She says that he was very perky this morning and standing up and walking around but that he threw up twice and still hasn't eaten Tonight is supposed to be the last night he is in the hospital. I was feeling fine on the news that he is doing a little better until my mom called his trainer this afternoon. We had signed up for individual training sessions for him to begin sometime next month and she was waiting for a phone call to work out a schedule. When she heard about how he is in the hospital with Parvo she was horrified and said that its unfortunate but that we should have euthanized him as soon as we found out. She said that its too painful for the dog and that he isn't going to make it anyway! Hearing this brought tears to my eyes. I don't want to believe it. She said that he's only being sustained and that he will probably come home and then get sick again. Do you think that she's right? She said that her big rottweiler had it and was treated and still died. It really upset me that she said that and I don't want to believe it but maybe she's being realistic. I'm not going to give up on him!! Going to visit him first thing tomorrow morning. Doctor says that if things go well he should be able to leave by 2:00 tomorrow afternoon. Fingers crossed. Thank you all for the support. |

| Although parvo is a nasty disease, I have read quite a few stories of dogs surviving it, especially when it was caught in time. You sound like such a caring person and you really love your baby, so I know Louie has a fighting chance! You both are in my thoughts!!

| Don't listen to the trainer's story..........the only story that matters right now, is yours, and you aren't giving up on that sweet baby!! You are doing the right thing, follow your heart!

| NOT EVERY PUPPY RESPONDS TO THIS DISEASE THE SAME WAY! This is a devastating disease, but puppies DO survive it, and do not "come home and get sick and die anyway"!! Parvo virus can have adverse effects on organs in the baby's body, but that is NOT written in stone that it will happen, or to what degree it happens. I kept three of the puppies that had parvo 8 years ago....2 little girls I kept just because they were so little to begin with,but it has allowed me to follow their health curve closely. They are 8 years old and have NEVER had any adverse effects from their bout with parvo. One of the males I kept, developed an issue with tear ducts....apparently, the virus has "shut down" the tear duct in his left eye, so I do eye care on him twice daily, for the rest of his life...they tried to jump start the tear duct gland with Restasis ((the active ingredient in Restasis will occasionally work, but it didnt on him),,,,and his last visit shows a Grade 1 heart murmur has developed. Vet says this is a direct effect of the parvo. I closely follow the other babies, and they have had NO residual health issues. For a trainer to be so brutally "honest", but also incorrect, with an owner that is facing the turmoil you are facing now, I personally find uncompassionate and not productive. She may be speaking strictly from personal experience she had with the disease, but what she told you is NOT EVIDENCE BASED~I would change trainers. JUST BE SURE LOUIE IS READY TO COME HOME....HE MUST BE EATING AND KEEPING IT DOWN, AT THE VERY LEAST. DO NOT LET THE VET DISCHARGE HIM WHILE HE IS STILL SICK....THAT IS WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO RUN INTO PROBLEMS WHEN YOU GET HIM HOME. I hope you have "sterilized" your home and have either gotten rid of EVERYTHING that sick baby touched, or sterilized it with bleach and hot water. Good luck and dont take what that trainer said as gospel....she is wrong. It is a very tough disease, very costly, and the babies are very sick from the disease....but it CAN and DOES work out, and your Louie can survive this. DO NOT feel you are torturing him by trying to save his life. |
