I STILL HAVE MY BOY! :D :D :D
Sorry to keep you waiting so long! I've only just got back from the vets, I was there all afternoon, came home for food and went back there. My moms friend is a receptionist there so I got to stay late.
He's doing better. He's not breathing so hard, and his blood pressure has gone down, so thats good. He's still losing proteins, they still don't know what's wrong or how to stop it, but he's more stabalised, and they've taken some blood so they can do some tests tomorrow. He's on loads of painkillers, and fluids to rehydrate him. He's pretty out of it, but he was licking my hand earlier :)
The vet said some of the symptoms are similar to Parvo, although he is up to date with his shots and, as far as I know, hasn't come into contact with anything that could've caused it. :confused: He's not out of the woods yet, but he's doing better and that's the main thing. :)
Thankyou SO much to everyone who has replied and prayed for him. I can't explain how scared I was of losing him and how thankful I am to all of you for caring. PT prayers really do work! I'll update again as soon as I can. :)

I'm so glad Toby is doing better! I will keep my fingers crossed for him until he is home safely!

What a gigantic relief it was to hear how he's doing. I know there are still rough times ahead, so more prayers & good thoughts coming for you two! :)

This exact same thing happened to one of my foster puppies. She tested negative for parvo, but it seemed to be exactly like parvo. She was losing proteins too and I think her white blood cell count was almost nothing. She actually had to have a plasma transfusion. I really thought she was going to die :( She ended up staying in the emergency room for 4 days, but was able to go home after that and made a 100% recovery :)
Hopefully Toby will recover quickly and this nightmare will become a distant memory.

Toby will stay in our thoughts and prayers 'til he's back home and in his third consecutive hour of playing tug! :)

Glad to hear he's doing better. You may want to copy this info and see if it could be this virus which mimics parvo, and can kill in 24 hours!
