She was doing great this morning, walking around unassisted, making a small but solid bowel movement, drinking on her own repeatedly and sniffing her food.
I went out for an hour and came back. She was laying out on the floor not breathing but I felt a faint heart beat. We rushed her down the...
OK I'll get her started on the Albon too.
I started giving her small amounts of honey to boost her blood sugar, and an enema of Pedialyte with a dash of sea salt (found several veterinary websites recommending that for parvo puppies).
She's actually started urinating again, twice in the last...

I'm feeding all of those things seperately btw...every few hours she gets something different. On top of all this I am required to give the promethazine and spectam 3x/day. They also have her on albon for coccidia but everything I am reading is saying to worry about de-worming/de-toxing...
My vet was closed today, I couldn't take her We're out of money to spend barring the visit that is scheduled as a follow-up for Saturday. Please also keep in mind I am driving a 12 y/o car with 206,350 miles that needed work this month too, literally 3 days before all this happened. My next...

What brand of insurance are you carrying? I looked into it for my 5 dogs and my 4 birds and it worked out to a couple hundred a month. Does it pay out better than human health insurance? My "great insurance plan" for myself was a joke
Here's a quick update. I woke up this morning to her in a different spot from where I left her. She had gone into the next room and let forth more diarrhea However, the diarrhea is thick and normal stool-colored (if not slightly blackish)...so this sounds good from my point of view because...
She's up and walking around this morning! The house still looks like a murder scene since she is eliminating bloody diarrhea. However, she is NOT vomiting. She made it a point to show me she was drinking water...she walked to the bowl, looked up at me, started drinking, and then looked up at me...
She is still rejecting food so I will leave her alone in that regard.
I found a Parvo survival tea recipe. It is made of Pedialyte steeped with peppermint tea, chamomile, echinacea, and I added 2 aloe vera caplets for extra soothing and antiseptic properties. She doesn't like me force-feeding...
Hey guys -- question -- she just lay forth a HUGE puddle of blood-colored diarrhea. It is to be noted that it did not have any parvo smell though. She is also feeling poorly again. Should I bring her to the water bowl even though she can get up herself? Is this going to be part of the healing...

Oh I got the puppy from a shelter outside of Houston. My only dealings with WHS were with the daughter of one of the workers -- she gave me a big box of chickens that someone left them. I ended up raising them and giving them to a guy with a huge coop outside of Whitney. He raised them...
I apologize that I got upset laser, it's been stressful on me because in the grand scheme of things, I'm the loser in this, as is the doggie.
Puppy is home -- the slap really is the vet bill -- they charged me $900 for her to sit in a kennel with IV's for 4 days. I got REALLY mad. She reeks of...
OK I kept my mouth shut on this even though it's been setting off my ulcer everytime I read someone "correcting" me about my near-dead dog's disease timeline, so I'll just say it...I am NOT blaming the shelter for "giving" my dog Parvo. I am a Biology teacher and I understand incubation times...
I doubt she's going to want to be up and around, but should I keep her crated? What should I do about her defecating? She weighs 6 pounds so if she goes in the house I can clean it up easily, but I am worried about contaminating the other 4. But, right now the other 4 are banished outside so I...
