Parvo took Our Babi
- On 3/2/12 my sis and I adopted a 2yr old white Pitt bull with a brown patch over right eye. She was beautiful! She was in the dog pound. She was house broken, good with kids, and other dogs. She was the most docile dog I've ever met. Never even heard her bark in the 11 days I knew her while volunteering at the pound. Due to contract she went to get spayed straight from the pound, and once she came from there she was a totally different dog. The vet claimed the vomiting and lack of appetite was due to anesthesia sensitivity. We were told to give her ice chips. The next day they told us to give her pepto. 3 days, $500 in vet bills, and 4 appts., and a billion tears later, our Babi Keera died in our basement! 3 days after we rescued her... I'm glad it happened quick so she didn't have to suffer too long! We felt so helpless! WE LOVE YOU KEERA!!!!

Prayers for our little Dino
- Well my boyfriend and I bought a puppy last week and this past Friday he started to vomit continuously and became very lethargic, we took him to the emergency clinic where he was diagnosed with Parvo, they gave him fluids and medicines and let us take him home for the night and then we could bring him to our regular vet in the morning, which we did, he's been there since Saturday morning, it's now Tuesday night, he started doing very well but then got worse the next day, probably because we caught it so fast, he's slowly progressing but is having a few set back here and there, We keep praying hell get better and get to come home by this weekend. We have two other dogs who are missing him, one of which is a Parvo survivor, so we believe little Dino was meant to be with us. It's such a horrible disease, my prayers go out to all the pups and their families who are going through this. Please pray for Dino, we want him healthy and home with us.

parvo survival
- Have at my feet a ten stone 3 yr old mastiff named Buddy, he his currently recovering from a bout of parvo. Caught I suspect from my 10 year old Patterdale Terrier (both dogs were vaccinated up to 1 yr old, no boosters since. Paddy the terrier showed symptoms for 1 day vomit bloody stools etc then he was fine. The mastiff didn't show symptoms for another two weeks then last Saturday it hit him bloody loose stools the non stop vomiting and the dog developed an evil smell of rotten meat, He went down very quickly and by Sunday morning i wasn't very hopefull, he was totaly knackered, and looked dreadfull, I just needed him to hang on till morning for vet. I new about liquids and electrolytes so i kept giviing him small amounts, 50mls of rehydrate solution every 15 to 20 mins oraly right through the day and night Monday morning he seemed brighter wanting food and drinking on his own. The vet confirmed parvo prescribing antibiotics against infection. Now thurs and it looks like he's won

Murphy's Parvo
- We adopted Murphy on 2/11 from the humane society. He seemed happy and healthy until Monday morning (2/13). His stomach was gurgling and wasn't interested in eating. He threw up and his stools started getting softer. He was lethargic the rest of the day and took him to a 24 hr vet that night where they put him in IVs. We transferred him back to the humane society clinic (2/15) where they will treat him for free. He still isn't interested in food, still has diarrhea, and had another episode of vomiting. He has enough energy to walk around stretch and show happy emoptions when I come see him. We are still hoping for the best and keep on praying.

Parvo took my puppy :(
- Reading these stories is killing me as I have recently lost a French Bulldog puppy to this.... It all happened so quickly, with alot of the symptoms you are all describing - he was lethargic, vomiting profusely, so, so sad and so frail looking because he couldn't keep anything down - and it all happened in matter of hours. I was convinced it was a side effect of the dewormer, and rushed him to a 24 hour clinic where they informed me it was in fact Parvo... He was already pretty far along and was doing really poorly; the vet said his intestines had already begun to stick, as is a known stage of the virus. At the point he was at, it would have been upwards of 5gs to hosptialize my pup, to which was all too sudden and left us with the great possiblity that he may not make it through since he was so far gone. I made one of the hardest decisions of my life that night and it haunts me every day. Rest in Peace little Winston :'(

Help our miamya
- Hi there! Im just emailing you to tell us a little bit about our story. Our 5 month old puppy was dignoised with Parvo over this past weekend and has been hospitalized in the Lacombe Veterinary Centre since Monday morning. When we had her admitted they said that we had caught it earlier enough that she will have a high recovery rate, and that I had done everything that I ws supposed to do on my own for helping a puppy with Parvo but she was in need on antibitotics and IV to make sure she pulled through. Right now she I currently still looking at being hostitalized for another day; this will be her 3rd day; so that they can make sure she isnt vomiting etc anymore and so that they can get her to start eating/drinking on her own again before they can let her come home. She had made great strides yesterday as she was perky, no vomiting etc and starting to look a little better. But as of this morning she has vomited again over night so they have decided to keep her again.

Sasha Blue, I love you...
- Sasha Blue was my 4 month old Blue Nosed Pit Bull. She was such a darling. Brought her home on Sept 3rd, 2010 as my early bday present. Everything was going great for a month then she stopped acting like herself. So I called my vet and told me to give her chicken broth, Gatorade, 7up, food, and water. Nothing was working so I took her to the Emergency Vet and they had told me she had parvo. I was devastated. She ended up passing away in my arms. It's been 1 year and 4 months. I'm still grieving, I'm trying to get a new puppy, I might be getting this puppy this week, though I am worried because Sasha is buried in my backyard also I'm scared that the puppy will catch the disease by digging or play on the grass or being outside period.

GET BETTER REXXY
- Our 1 year old Rexxy, Red Cattle X Border Collie, was happy as ever on Saturday we had taken him and Dozer, 2 yr old Bull Arab X Labrador, for a trip on the fishing boat they loved it!!! Sunday night I had noticed he was not well, i thought it was just sea sickness. Come Monday he was had deteriatored, didnt want to eat or move. I couldnt bear to see him lying around, he is always a little terror! I came home last night and noticed vomit on the stairs, I asked him to have a drink a water, he walked 2 steps and it came back up. Our poor baby has been overnight in Doggy Hospital and have been told 6 out of 8 dogs have made it. It is very expensive, we have been quoted 1800 $$. I rang the vet up this morning to check on him, they said he was ok, but symptoms have not changed much. We miss our little guy! I hope all of your dogs have made a recovery and I hope our little Rexxy does too!

They can survive
- 2 weeks ago I adopted a 8 week old Border collie mix thru a rescue . When I got her I was told she had her first DHLPP shot and had been vet checked . 3 days later I was rushing my girl to the vet and she was parvo positive . I called the rescue they inform me I was wrong and wasting my money . When the vet read me her blood work , I chose to have the blood transfusion and 2 days later she was running around the house like a mad woman . Lots of fluids and meds !!!! She is still on a bland diet and gags some but it gets better everyday !!

Still hoping
- Our pit bull terrier, Badshot, 4 months old, had his deworming scheduled last Jan 19. Two days into deworming (Jan 21), he was lethargic and vomitted a white frothy substance. The next day, he still hasn't eaten. He only drank water and we thought this was a side effect of his deworming procedure. Yesterday, Jan 23, my husband saw that he pooped blood and told me that he might me positive of the parvo virus. We went to the vet in the afternoon, he was inserted an IV and was admitted in the hospital so they can monitor his progress. As of today, the prognosis isn't looking any good. The vet told us that he continuously vomitted and had bloody diarrhea overnight. Husband and I are still keeping our hopes high that he can survive this ordeal.

Blue
- Blue is a pit bull he is only 12 weeks old, when was about 2 weeks old we had thought we had beat the parvovirus with him, he had it and we caught it early by giving him the shot and his symptoms went away. Once a dog gets the parvovirus they will be immune to it if they pull through. So we thought he was safe. But he started showing symptoms of it two days ago, I can always tell when they have it so many of my dogs have gotten the parvovirus. So I guess you are not immune unless u have the full in effect parvovirus. He is usually the most energetic puppy I have ever met, he totally different. It kills me to watch him go through this, i can't imagine how he is feeling. People say dogs have no emotions but I am here to say they do, they know how to feel they get sad, depressed, happy, everything. I never want to let him go when I am holding him, and the way he looks at me there is so much emotion in his eyes. I love him ms I know he loves me back. I have had 2 dogs live through the Through the parvovirus, its not one of those that just runs it's course, you have to fight constantly. Blue's father is a survivor, with the help of baby pedialyte every 15 minutes or more and willpower he pulled through. Blue's Aunt is also a survivor, we had her an IV put in as soon as we gave her the IV you could tell how much better she was feeling. Don't give up, fight fight fight! It is hard but it is worth it.

pray for jaxx
- My little jaxx is a 2.5 lb., 9 week old puppy. He was diagnosed with parvo Thurs. He was diagnosed with hook worms and roundworms also. The vet said that survival is very thin for him. He gave him some amoxicillin and told us to use and syringe and keep him hydrated with pedialite. I also went to petco and got nutri-cal puppy gel, which is a nutritional supplement for finicky eaters. I have been giving him 3-5 ml of pedialite every 1-2 hours, and the 1/2 tsp nutri-cal per day. I have also mixed a little bit of honey in his water to keep his sugar up. Today is Saturday and he has started to drink water. He hasn't had any blood diarrhea or throw up at all. I'm hoping we caught it before that will start. Praying he will start eating soon.
