    thanks everyone.

    i talked to the vet this morning. she is still throwing up a little and has diarhea, but i think all the blood is gone from the diarhea. she held down more broth and some actual food. he said she was barking in her cage a little yesterday afternoon. all this is promising, and we are still hoping to bring her home tomorrow.

    Gee I hope so!  I'm so looking forward to you telling us that she is home and eating and acting normal!
    Keeping my fingers crossed!

    I'm glad to read your latest update -- it sounds like the good vibes are working, so we'll keep sending more.  Get well little Emma and don't give up!

    thanks all!


    i just talked with the vet. emma is acting more like a regular puppy now. he said she has been barking and howling and jumping up on the cage door. best of all she isnt vomitting anymore. her poops are still a little runny but no blood in them. she is eating and holding down her food. the only thing he is still concerned about is that she isnt going after the food when they put it down. she will let it sit around for a bit and eventually eat it all. he wanted to observe her for the rest of the day, but i am supposed to pick her up after work.

    hopefully, we are over all this and can get on with raising a puppy. [:D]

    i picked her up from the vets yesterday evening. she slept a good part of the evening. i dont think she likes the i/d they sent home with her. she acted hungry and we put a little in a bowl. she sniffed it but that was all. i made a little beef broth and put over... that was the trick! she scarfed it down. held it all down too.

    this morning my wife did the same thing and put a little kibble in with it. when i left she had still held it all down. actually, when i got up and let her out of her crate, she ate a little bit of the food amelia had left in her bowl.

    it may still be a few more days, but i think the puppyness is returning to her!

    thanks again everyone!

    Way to go Emma !
     
    I'm so happy to hear good news about her - she's worked her way into alot of our hearts

    thanks everyone.

    she still has a long way to go. she is extremely malnourished (which was only made worse by the parvo). her appetite isnt back 100% yet.

    the good news for today is that she had a solid poop!

    she is so cute though. right now, my wife is asleep on the couch and emma is laying on her chest asleep as well. i'd take a pic, but my wife would kill me! [:D]
