The past couple days have been no bueno at home. My puppy Swoop (b's up) started to not feel so well. She is normally a very happy pup. Tons and tons of kisses, and excitement. Always waggin her tail and jumpin' up on the couch to lay right next to me if not right on top of me. A few days ago she started vomiting and was levels below her normal, friendly personality. We assumed that maybe she was dehydrated and hot because the AZ summer heat has begun./ We gave her plenty of water and a cold bath to cool her off. She continued vomiting...BFI got Pepcid AC to calm her tummy and keep her hydrated. The next day she was halfway between what she was previously and her normal personality, so we decided that the Pepcid worked and she was going to be fine, then she took a turn for the worse. Saturday morning, she was a zombie. Wouldnt even react to her name. We said enough was enough and took her to the Vet. A Parvo test and $210.00 later we found out that she was infected with the Parvo disease. They stuck her with a shot to keep her from getting sick and then a huuuuge needle for an IV of meds and fluids. She had a camel hump under her perfectly speckled coat of fluid to keep her body hydrated. The vet gave us 10 shots and 2 full IV bags to take home, and he advised that it's no guarantee but it would help her body fight the disease. So now we are watching her every move to make sure that she doesnt get worse. It's a scary thing and a miserable thing to watch...cross your fingers for Swoop. Love her too much to lose her.
Swoopie is doin good now BFI. I was lucky enough to get some kisses when I got home. She is barking at Roxie because she wants to come out of her cage and play : )
