i think i spoke too soon about my new poodle. she is now at the vet clinic battling parvovirus, which she probably contracted from the pet store. no treatment for this. no antivirals. only antibiotics to prevent secondary infection and an i.v. drip to rehydrate, cos most dogs infected by the virus die of dehydration. prognosis is poor for a puppy so young. she's only 6 weeks old! 50-50 chance. mum is devastated, so am i, having to hear her cry like that. the puppy brought so much joy although only for a week. please pray that it'll recover. please please please. i know that it's just a dog and i haven't even seen it but it means so much to me. coco died exactly 9 weeks ago, we just cannot handle the death of another dog in such a short period of time. i wanted so badly to go back home this weekend to see the pup, but now i don't think i am cos mum doesn't want me to. i feel so horrible. such a small innocent little thing. i just hope she will be fine.
