why is it they all get sick on saturday nights? :(

[Husky_mom]

well.. lil miss nameless is doing fine.. she's completed her meds.. is overall back to normal.. but.. she kinda loved the enercal (a hi-caloric gel supplement) and now I'm having issues with her eating.. lol..

she eats.. but stares me as if saying "where's the good stuff?" .. and she prolongs the "I'm not eating"..until she realizes she ain't getting more.. so she's still not eating what she should quantity wise..

but I'm afraid I have bad news too.. now Hoover has the symptoms..but worse.. she had 2 liquid evacuations this morning.. plus what seemed a few vomits..(nameless didn't) as they seemed just wet spots.. and were certainly not pee (due to location).. I instantly relocated her into a crate and moved her to the garage to reduce the exposure.. I started treatment already.. hope it was fast enough

Hoover really went down fast.. she's totally dehydrated.. she was fine yesterday.. (she ate, played.. everything normal) this morning she didn't rushed to the door to have her breakfast... and THAT was a concern.. she's feeling down too.. still wags her tail.. but seems tired..bit lethargic

weird thing is non of the pups have been out.. or in contact to infected dogs.. nor the virus was at my house.. we have had awful winds.. so I attribute it to that.. and maybe what "nameless" had was indeed parvo.. and by being in contact with Hoover that's how one gave it to the other...

I rushed and bought Virkon.. I read about it and it seems it can control/kill/deactivate parvo within minutes.. supposedly on one application.. so I bought a couple sachets.. applied one today to the yard.. and in places Hoover might have been.. also did my shoes, bowls, floor.. and as a precaution I'll do it again tomorrow and a few more days..

hope I can get rid of it and not have nameless bounce back down...


please keep Hoover in your thoughts.. she needs it.. she's in pretty bad shape.. and also nameless.. as for her not to get it.. or get it back if that's what she had..

I'm sorry to hear that you've been having sick puppies. I hope that everyone will get well soon. Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent their way.

Poor girl . I think that Nameless would have deteriorated and not improved as quickly as she did if she had parvo, but the way you're describing Hoover's symptoms, it doesn't sound good. Sending her the best wishes and good thoughts to get better soon

[Husky_mom]

Hoover is still hanging in there.. she has been taking her meds and electrolytes.. she is able to stand and walk on her own.. I try to minimize her efforts but she still gets up.. she still has been vomiting though.. not much pooping as she has had no food intake so far.. her nose doesn't seems as dry as yesterday.. hopefully that's a good sign..

will keep up updating on how she's doing..

Oh my, it seems you have your hands full with sick pups. Many prayers that Hoover is all better soon.

Hoover had a ok day.. she's def not worse.. and I hope she's like that tomorrow.. she's been vomiting still.. very little diarrhea.. as she still has had no solid food.. just fluids..

around noon.. she had an episode of howlerama.. yes.. she was howling and whining.. to me, that's a good sign.. I mean she had the streght to make noise... :P .. (she sooo wants to get out of her crate.. poor baby.. I do take her out but have her confined to a small space to reduce the exposure to whatever she has.. I did see a small trace of blood.. but very small.. she takes her fluids quite nice.. so I hope tomorrow she's better..but she surely seems dehydrated.. although her nose is also wet today.. not dry as yesterday)..
for it being the 2nd day I think she's doing ok.. not great but ok.. hoping we get out of the bump soon.. for both of em


nameless had a runny poop again.. not liquid but more watery than mushy.. with a bit of mucus.. but she's eating.. not as much as she should but enough.. I really need to make her eat more and gain weight.. but I don't wanna put to much into her to cause her more bad.. I might add a few canned food to her kibble.. she seems to be really picky eater.. if the kibble is not on a certain food bowl she takes her time and hesitates to eat .. good thing she's also drinking normally.. and I've added some "additive" (in lack of better word as it skipped my mind) to help the intestines and all involved recover..either from sickness or antibiotic use..
