Update On Rottie Mix Pups From Olney, Illinois, UPDATE ON PAGE 3. 12/26/06

[CultureJunky]

I am praying for these little babies to get better. Tracy you did a great thing rescuing the dogs along with the kittens and giving them hope and a chance at life. You have nothing to feel guilty about, though I know how you must feel.
Is Parvo something that Rotties are particularly prone too?
I googled it and it's a terrible disease

Sounds like an upset tummy. I suspected Chipper of having parvo when he stopped eating and had bloody diarreha. Turns out is was either a stomach flu or a GI tract issue. Won't know till the blood tests come back.

I hope the puppies are Parvo negative and start bouncing back soon.

Just got in from the vet. I am so sad to say that it IS Parvo. Both lil' girls have it. They are staying there to be treated. It will cost me over $600.00 to get them better. It was either that or put them down...and I could not do that. I look at their empty cage and just feel so bad. The vet said I did good with the Pedialyte and sugar blend, but there was nothing I myself could do. They will stay there until they are better. The vet said it could take up to a month if they survive. Butter is really sick, Peanut is not as bad. I just pray that they make it a can come back to me. If they make it I am seriously thinking about keeping Butter. Peanut has a home waiting if she survives. While they are there, they will be spayed and vaccinated once treatment is complete. I hope these girls have some fight left in them. They haven't even experienced puppyhood yet. Please fellow PTers, say lots of prayer for them. I have to find a way to get some funds saved up for these sweeties. Thank you everybody for your advice and comforting words. Deep in my heart, I knew this would be the result. I will post more when I hear an update about them.

OMG!! I am o sorry to hear this, but I am so happy that you are giving them a fighting chance. I will pray for these sweet little girls to make it!!

Ugh I was really really trying to be hopeful and positive it wasn't Parvo. I hope they are able to get better. You have done everything you could and if they don't at least you tried, nobody else did. Will keep praying they get better!

Good idea BMom. I can donate some to help with their bill. They deserve a chance.

Oh man.

While most of my bonus is being put towards Chipper's bill, I can set aside a little to send to you if we can do that. Let us know.

Can you post the vets phone number for us to make donations for the care? We could call and put credit on the bill.. ( I was afraid of this that is why I recommended the pedialyte and sugar.. ) Please list their address and phone number for us to help out here.
