The shelter we got our puppy from accidentally gave our dog the parvo vaccine twice, in effect giving him parvo.
He was lethargic, thin, and losing liquids. Couldn’t keep anything down. Our vet basically told us to take him home and make him comfortable.
My wife wasn’t going to let him die. She used an eyedropper to squirt liquids and baby food down his throat. She kept him in her lap overnight, giving him squirts of food and water every hour or so.
Good news is that Diesel pulled through. He is a happy, healthy ball or energy at four years old. He currently weighs in at about 50 pounds and, not surprisingly, insists on sitting in my wife’s lap if she has any food!
Thanks for the encouraging story. We’re hoping for the best.
