Parvo. :(

[MeggieNRoxie]

The vet just called. Hazel's temp is 89 and she is barely breathing. There is nothing more they can do for her. I'm rushing there so I can hold her and be with her while she passes. Thank you for your prayers, everyone.. she is just too tiny to beat this evil virus. There is one surviving pup from the litter of 6 for now.

[MeggieNRoxie]

She's gone.

I'm very sorry for your loss. In an instant these pups steal our hearts. Thank you for trying to save her and for letting her know she was loved.

Oh my, I am so very sorry for you and that beautiful young baby. What a sweet little mite to have to go through this horrible misery and lose the battle. Her picture melted my heart and I prayed she would pull through.
You did so much for her and you must be devastated that she is now gone. What a terrible tragedy that the litter mates are also in danger of losing the battle.
I know no words help at this moment , but all of us here sympathize with you and are thinking of you. Praying your other Yorkie stays disease free and that you may be comforted knowing you did all that was humanly possible to save this poor little baby. RIP sweet Hazel, so very sorry for what happened to you.
Hugs to you, her wonderful caring mom.
Deepest condolences and love. Dot. So sad

I am so very sorry for you as well as that precious little soul, who asked for none of that. If it were me, I woul;d be on the phone, calling the breeder, and getting my money back.....NOT another dog from that property, as she has parvo everywhere....get your money back.....you are going to have a major fight on your hands, as this "breeder" is NOT going to even consider that, making YOU whole after selling you a sick puppy that was incubating parvo....that puppy already had parvo when you purchased her, as did all her littermates. Good luck, and my heart breaks for your precious little darling.....

THIS is another reason reputable breeders hold onto their babies until they are 12-16 weeks old....giving time for vaccinations to be effective.....

[teasell]

so, so sorry. I prayed and hoped she'd make it.


I do hope the breeder does the right thing.

Thank you. My eyes are swollen from crying all day. I did everything that I could, but I still feel like I failed Hazel somehow. I can't get the image out of my head.. she was barely holding on when I arrived at the animal hospital, and I could tell she was suffering. She was only breathing 4 or 5 times a minute, and it sounded like her lungs were full of fluid. Her eyes were rolling back and she was completely limp. Had no strength to move at all. I asked the vet to give her the shot so she could pass peacefully and quickly, and Hazel looked at me right as the vet injected it. I completely lost it. My poor baby. I only had her for a week, but I hope she felt how much we adored her in that short time. Now I'm crying again.

The breeder offered me my money back, or another puppy from a different litter that she says seems to have gotten immunity from the vaccines. She said she wants to keep her for another 2 weeks just to be sure that she doesn't develop symptoms of parvo. I am terribly conflicted.. what if she only has partial immunity because she hasn't completed the full round of vaccines? I obviously have parvo in my house now, and I would never forgive myself if I brought this seemingly immune puppy to my home only to have her catch the virus a few weeks later. I could request that the breeder runs a titer test to see if the pup is indeed immune to parvo, but I would still be terrified. This is probably a terrible idea and my head isn't on straight, so please be gentle.. let me down easy if you think it would all go terribly wrong. I'm leaning more towards getting a refund and waiting a year or two before trying to introduce a new dog into my home again.

I am so sorry for the loss of your baby.

GET YOUR MONEY BACK AND RUN FROM THIS BREEDER AS FAST AS YOU CAN. NO WAY WOULD I TRUST THIS BREEDER AGAIN!!

BEFORE you even consider bringing a new baby back into your house you need to clean, clean and clean more. Parvo can live in environment for 7 yrs.

Such a tragic loss, I am so sorry.

[matese]

There are no words to express how very sorry I am that little Hazel lost this battle, all the pain both you and wee lil baby went through. Bless you for doing everything you could to save this sweet innocent little girl, my heart is bleeding for you. YT warriors prayers do work, Hazel was far into parvo virus for us to help pull her through. Getting your money back is a good thing but will not bring that precious lil baby back. Keeping you in my prayers to give you strength to get you through this. (((HUGS)))

I am so sorry your little Hazel didn't make it, it doesn't take long for these little ones to impact our lives and fall in love with them.

I have thought of you and your precious Hazel throughout the day. I'm so sorry Hazel was unable to fight this insidious disease. I have attached a link to Virkon S tablets which seems to be the only thing that's effective against this virus. Hazel came to you without any immunity to fight this disease, as the boosters were given far too early. I would not take another pup from this breeder. Her pups left their mom too early, and she doesn't understand the basics about how these boosters work. The cost of a broken heart is far too great.

I can feel your pain and I am sure many tears will flow over this terrible loss.
Having her look at you at the end must have been heartrending.
Please do not take another pup from this breeder, take the money and save it for when your home is clear of the virus and you find another baby from a great breeder. Of course money cannot ease the pain of Hazel's loss, but it I will help with the vet bills and/ or the purchase of your next baby.
Thinking of you and sending prayers for you and your sweet baby.
Hugs, Dot.

I'm so sorry you lost your baby. I know how hard it can be. I would get the refund and then find a reputable breeder. No pup will take her place but you deserve to have the love of a healthy pup in your life.
