Did you try Nutrical?

If she doesn't improve maybe it would be a good idea to take her into the regular vet that is in office during the day. I know from past experience years ago when our Doberman got bit by rattle snake the emergency hospital was one huge bill and that was over the weekend. I also remember many years back when we first got our Cassie, right away she got real sick and we took her to an emergency hospital early one morning and they said the same thing on tests, etc. They wanted to do blood work and bunch of other things and racked up a real high estimate and since it was so close to our vets office opening we said we would take her to him, we did that and immediately he came back to us and said I know what the problem is "worms" he treated her and all was ok. He said if they had checked her under the micro they would have discovered this. We remember how sick she was and that was real scarey. We pray that your baby is all well real soon. Please keep us posted on how Chloe is doing. Patti, Jack and ~Baby Blessing~

I took her to the vet again... for the 3rd time. I had a hunch that she might have parvo b/c she's showing all symptoms of it so I got her tested and indeed it is parvo. According to the vet, she's "very very positive..." she wasnt' sure if Chloe's going to make it through the night.. I went onlien and ordered Parvo Guard... just in case. I'm beyond desperate now. It should come in on Saturday -- I don't know if she'll pull through till then but I can try... At this point, I'm just getting myself ready to say good bye to her. Such a poor little thing... I've only had her less than a week and it's amazing how fast you get attached to them. I love her to death.

Oh no. I hope your baby is okay. I'm not very familiar with that disease/sickness. :(

That baby really needs to be hospitalized if there is a chance for it to survive. I know it is expensive but maybe they will accept payments.

Hannah - I know what you are going through. I just lost my new puppy to parvo on February 14. I only had my puppy 1 day and he started showing symptoms. I never ever want to see a dog go through that again. I wasn't with him when he finally passed because he was at the vets for the last 24 hours on fluids. I don't know how much research you have done on parvo but there is a 7 to 10 day incubation period which would mean your baby was already infected when you got him from the pet store. You should call that pet store and let them know everything that is going on. I would make sure they know Chloe is sick with parvo when she started showing symptoms. Make sure you get the name of the person that you talked to. Hopefully they will stand behind the puppy. Make sure you tell them you know parvo has a 7 - 10 day incubation period which would mean she was already infected when you bought her. Please post and let us know how Chloe is doing. I have heard good things about that Parvo Guard, the main thing is fluids. Try really hard to keep fluids in her. Hopefully she will hold on until the Parvo Guard gets there. Post soon!

Hello again. I just dropped my baby Chloe off at another vet that charged less for her to be hospitalized. She'll be on Intravenous fluids and will be given fluids subcutaneously. Ravens Keeper, as you've stated, yes, I found out that there is an incubation period of 7-10 days which means that she did get parvo before I got her. The vet that I went to this morning infomred me of a law stating that there has to be at least 2 weeks to give the puppy back if s/he's sick -- the pet shop only gave me 48 hours. Everything seems a mess right now because I want to make sure that Chloe is okay and getting all the care that she needs, while looking into this law that might turn into a possible lawsuit (I REALLY dont' want to go there though) and since I'm graduating from college a year early and this is my last semester, I need to study like no tomorrow =( But first thing's first -- I need to make sure that Chloe will make it through (the vet said that if the virus has spread to her heart, there is no way to cure her...)


PLEASE DOG OWNERS: WHEN YOU SEE THE FIRST SYMPTOMS OF YOUR YORKIE INACTIVE, LETHARGIC, HAVING DIARRHEA, VOMITING, WON'T EAT OR DRINK -------------- PLEASE GET THEM TESTED FOR PARVO EVEN IF THEY'VE BEEN VACCINATED! LITTLE PUPPIES ARE ESPECIALLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS TRULY NASTY VIRUS. YOUR DOGS DON'T DESERVE TO GO THROUGH SUCH A HARD HARD TIME, ULTIMATELY TAKING THEIR LIVES IF LEFT UNTREATED AND UNDETECTED.


ALSO, IF YOU'VE GOTTEN A DOG AT A BREEDER OR A PETSHOP AND YOU RECENTLY FOUND OUT (WITHIN 7-10 DAYS OF GETTING THEM) THAT THEY HAVE A VIRUS, LOOK INTO THE LAW ABOUT THIS... IT MIGHT JSUT BE A CALIFORNIA LAW AND I JUST HEARD ABOUT THIS SO I DON'T KNOW TOO MUCH ABOUT THIS, BUT AS SOON AS I STUDY FOR MY QUIZ, I WILL BE SURE TO LOOK INTO IT.


thank you thank you ALL so much for all your concerns for my baby. You are alllll tooooo kind!

I hope that things get better for this little baby.
I am so sorry about this......I am glad that you gave this ingo out and hope that it helps other out in a time like this. My babies are sending BIG KISSES AND (((((((HUGZ))))))) :lovewings :hug: :hug:

Very good info!!!!!!!!

How is your baby today?? Sounds like Parvo to me but i am not a vet could just be an infection but like the other say its nothin to fool around with. I had a scottish terrier that i had already had his first set of shot including one parvo vaccine and he still contracted it before it was time for his second vaccine. Having the one vaccine saved his life but it still was hard to see him so ill. That was many years ago and i know how you feel about having a sick baby. Please keep us all posted on how your darling pet is doing!!
Melinda Little

well i responded to your first thread and now i see you have posted an update. Yes it sounded like parvo to me from the very beginning from the symtoms you were describing. It is awful to see how bad they feel with that and my scotty survived it because he had a vaccination prior to contracting it. I have faith that your little girl will pull thru since you had already had one vaccine for her. Good luck and again keep us posted.
Melinda

I'm so glad that Chloe is at the vets now. She has the best care and she can get fluids through an IV now. I'm glad your checking into the laws, I would still contact the store and let them know what is going on, might be helpful if you have to sue to get your money back for vet bills.

Check out the thread below. It states the laws regarding each state.
