DD and her hubby got 2 pit bull puppies awhile back. Not sure of their age but they are/were due their third puppy shots this weekend. DD lives in an apartment complex. She walks the pups in the back where not a lot of people walk their dogs, mainly cause they are pups and havent had all their shots yet. She doesnt take them anywhere else. No dog park, no Petsmart. They do have a huge feral cat population. Tenants moved out, left their cats, and they have multiplied. Many of them are sick. The friendly ones walk up to you and she says they sneeze and weeze and have matted eyes and are bags of bones. 2 weeks ago, girl pup gets what appears to be a cold. Runny nose, slightly goopy eyes, loss of appitite. Poop was fine, still playful. Gets over it in a few days. Last night, DD goes to take pups out before she goes to bed. Boy pup has bloody diarriha. She lets hubby know, he works night shift, that pup is sick and needs to be taken to the vet when he gets off of work and gets home. Hubby gets home and finds puppy dead in crate. They are mortified. She said he doesnt smell like parvo. She is pregnant and is having problems and is on almost bed rest. She is freaking out that the puppy has something that the baby can get. She has most of the time used rubber gloves when she has had to clean up their messes but she is in tears now. Any idea what killed the puppy so fast? She has a doctors apt next week and she is gonna talk to them about it to make sure she is ok. But what about the puppy? What about the girl puppy that was sick with something different and showing no symptoms anymore? Did the cats give them something?
