    emma the rottie

    little emma our new pup is not doing well. i know i posted before that she had a rough start to life, but her condition is not getting any better. the first day (sunday) she ate a little with no problems. monday she was still eating but was a little lethargic and threw up once or twice. we thought she was just gorging herself too much. she hasnt eaten or has eaten very little since breakfast.

    when i came home at lunch, it looked like she had thrown up some food in her crate. while i was home she threw up some clear liquid. i thought maybe the kibble (even wet) was too solid for her. i gave her a little canned food and left it all afternoon. she ate none as far as i could tell. my wife and i thought maybe she would eat some formula. she peed right after i got home from work and has been asleep ever since other than when my wife was force feeding her some of the formula.

    tomorrow we are going back to the vet. wish us luck.

    we went to the vet first thing. she has lost about 1 lb since monday. the vet is pretty sure it is parvo. he is doing a test and i am supposed to call back later today to find out. whether it is or not, she is really sick. she is currently at the vet getting IV fluids.

    i just talked to the vet tech. she is positive for parvo. the tech said it was a "high positive".  i am not sure what that means.

    they have started treatments and expect that she will be at the vets for at least 3 or 4 days.

    we are going to do some major cleaning tonight with bleach. the vet isnt too worried about our other dogs since they are UTD on shots, but we want to kill the nasty stuff and not spread it around.

    i will give updates as i find out more info.

    I'm so sorry to hear that Emma's sick. I read somewhere recently that Rotties have a high incidence of Parvo, sometimes even when they've been vaccinated.
     
    We will be keeping fingers and paws crossed for Emma's recovery. Please take care.

    that is what the vet told me on our first visit. not sure why that is, but it is sad.

    kenny's rottie was VERY sick as a pup and I think it was parvo among other things I think and if I remember correctly he did daily IV treatments at home.
