Our sweet little boy-Jake

[pitc9]

I wonder if a pup can have the virus, and still test negative for a while?

Yes, a dog can have it and test negative.
It's most likely that the pup had it all along.

I'm so gald to hear he's getting better!

I have wondered if he could have had it all along. I really feel like he picked it up while at the vets office for the check up. They had us leave him with them all day since we really didn't have an appt. and they worked him in. I was going nuts trying to figure out how he could have gotten it as careful as we were with him. He is really pretty much back to normal today. He gets tired really easy but his appetite is really returning now so hopefully his strength will as well. He refuses to be far from me, so I cook every meal with him in the kitchen and even have to shower with him just outside the shower door. He is so sweet and I am thrilled to see those precious little eyes start to sparkle again. Jake is losing those sunken dark eyes he has had for the last two weeks. I appreciate everyone's thoughts and ideas here. I will forward pics as soon as he is well enough for them. He is still a little skeleton with ribs and backbone showing, so I would rather not have photos to remember this stage.
