I have noticed that my post are becoming less about me and more about the dogs!!! (I know I am not alone in this--cone of shame owner!). Anyhow, a week ago THursday, I came home and let the dogs in. Normally, they all run in and jump and have fun. Not Thursday. Not Hugo. He just looked at me as he continued to lie in his kennel. He then stood up and wobbled over to me, where he vomited clear liquid! It scared me so much I took him to the doggy ER. $250 later, found out he had PARVO!!!! When I was young, I lost my dog to parvo. It scared me sooooo much. I stayed up for 4 nights nursing him to health. On Monday night, I was so excited that he had made it. Tuesday morning, Mia refused to eat. NNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!!! I have been forcing water down her throat for the past 4 days. Today she is doing so much better. Thanks to my vet, the syringe and Pedialyte for all the assistance! We are not to leave our yard for a month, so no visits with Santa. Tomorrow I am putting up the tree and taking pics with them in front of it. i am so thankful that they are healthy again. I pray that Rhino does not get sick with it now! BTW: Hugo went from 32 lbs to 18 lbs in 4 days! Mia only lost 8 ounces. Pic is of Hugo after the illness.
