I asked for prayers and thoughts on a different thread and I am sure we received them since Jake came home from the vet hosp. He was a little stray brought home by my son but he was not to stay here. The whole family fell in love and then Jake came down with parvo. After 9 days on IV and being kept alone away from his family, he is finally home. Each feeding he eats a little more and vomits a little less. Today he has not vomited at all though he does retch if he moves around a lot after eating. He is seriously skinny, sunken eyes, and has been very lethargic. Wonder why?? Nine days with absolutely no food. He is recovering nicely now and seems to be able to play a little today. He actually tugged at my pants leg and gnawed on my ankle tonight. Jake is of unknown parentage, but he is choc. color with webbed toes and green eyes. Our little alien is of course part lab, but who knows what else. We would have gotten his shots sooner if he had been going outside at all, but he was kept inside away from other dogs. We had him tested for parvo on day one and he was neg. Where it came from is a mystery to us all. I firmly believe that he picked it up at the vet's office when we had him wormed and tested. I just want to say thanks to all who said a prayer for our little Jake and us as well. He is truly the new baby in our household and I fear the most spoiled little brat after his illness. He is right now sleeping on my hubby's fav. blanket.
