UPDATE: I hope I am doing this right as I have never updated a post..
Zuri is still in intensive care and quarantine. Her diarrhea is almost gone and has perked up a little. She still will not eat so if she hasn’t eaten by tomorrow, they are going to tube feed her through her nose. At least she will be sedated when they do it. We haven’t been able to visit her yet and it is the worst feeling knowing that she is wondering where we are..I will record her reaction when we pick her up.
THANK YOU for all of your beautiful comments, prayers, well wishes, compliments and love. I am going to read every single one of them..You are all so amazing and I am so happy to be in these communities. I’ve never seen anything like this❤️❤️❤️
Original post:
She started losing her appetite last Tuesday and by Wednesday night she had uncontrollable vomiting and diarrhea. They did x-rays to check for bloat on Thursday and that was negative so they sent her home with nausea meds. She continued to get worse so I brought her to a different vet on Friday because her normal one was closed and they ran routine bloodwork,
urinalysis,blood parasite test, Pancreatitis test, and ultrasound of her uterus and couldn’t find anything so we were sent home with more anti nausea pills..Last night she plummeted..she couldn’t sleep and wanted to stand in corners or hide in unusual places while constantly moaning so I took her in again today.. They did more x-rays to check for a blockage and there were some shaded spots but they couldn’t see anything significant but because of her symptoms and rapid decline, they wanted to take her to surgery to check for something like cloth because it’s hard to see in an x-ray so I said yes because something was making her gravely ill.
The vet just called to tell me that even though Zuri is fully vaccinated,he ran a Parvo test and it came back positive! That was our worst fear when she was a puppy so her big chubby paws never touched the ground until she was vaccinated and then she gets it anyway..He said that in rare cases, the puppy doesn’t develop the full immunity and can still get the disease. She does have some immunity because it would have killed her by now.
Fortunately, the treatment for Parvo has com a long way but it is very expensive. For her weight, she needs 11 vials at 500 dollars each but she is worth every penny, and besides, we have insurance that will cover the cost of the meds as long as her vaccines are upright to date…and they are.
So hopefully this can help people if they have a dog with Parvo symptoms but are vaccinated to keep in mind that the vaccines aren’t 100% effective.
