The breeder emailed me this morning that one of her littermates has parvo. I took her to the e vet and she is also positive. She puked her first night home, but that can be so normal (STD did too). And didn't love the food they sent home with her, so didn't eat the first day. But sudsy suggested rice and chicken, and she gobbled it up. She's been peppy and happy, playing with us and snuggling. She's a doll baby. They gave her fluids and started the antibiotics, and she's home. I guess we just wait and hope she stays healthy. There are also no vets in the area with an appointment before the end of November. I scheduled her intake with our old vet last month and they cancelled it on me this morning. So I don't even have anywhere to take her for the follow up. Sudsy is watching their cancel list because she's the best person I've ever met and has held my hand through the whole thing. It's been a shitty day. eta if you have a parvo survivor, I'd love to hear about it.

Oh man I’m sorry. My very close friend has a now 12 year old dog who had parvo as a puppy. She said it was rough at the time but her dog hasn’t had any lasting issues-she was even a running partner for the daughter who trains for marathons! I hope Bagel recovers quickly.

He had some lifelong medical issues that we had to manage and didn’t live as long as a dog without parvo probably would. But we did have 8 great years with him. Good luck to your pup!!

I’m so sorry! My Scout was a parvo survivor. She stayed with the rescue through her treatment, so I don’t have any experience with that, but she didn’t have any lingering complications and was a very healthy dog for the rest of her life. We’ll be praying for Bagel and call on our Scout to be an additional guardian angel for her. 💕

I’m so sorry. I can’t believe you can’t get in to the vet with a parvo positive puppy!
I would highly advise keeping puppy FAR away from any rugs or carpet in case diarrhea sets in. I picked up a stray puppy many years ago that ended up with parvo, and it was a traumatizing experience.

I’m so sorry to hear that!
In case it’s helpful to hear, I had a friend with a parvo+ dog and he did end up beating it and living a full life.

Oh no! I hope she stays healthy and that sudsy can use some magic to get that follow-up. I would think that if she wasn't symptomatic and is being treated early, that will help her chances significantly.

Oh goodness, I’m sorry you’re dealing with this stress. Poor little Bagel.
My chessie had parvo as a tiny puppy and she is still a loud mouth bossy ass bitch at 9 years old with no lasting effects so I will send her good juju to Bagel.

I’m so sorry you and Bagel are going through this. My childhood dog, a yellow lab, had parvo as a puppy and got very sick. I remember being so scared. But he pulled through and had no health complications. He lived a long and happy 15 years.

My Dog had parvo as a puppy (her whole litter did) and she is a happy and healthy 9 years old now. I can’t speak to the treatment because that was all before we rescued her and they handled. She has been the healthiest dog ever other than us having to finish some mange treatments when we first got her. She has never had a major issue.

My friend has a giant healthy Great Pyrenees that is a par I survivor.
I know I’m not sure close, but the vet we go to is super flexible with his hours and I am happy to send you his name.
