Multiple Puppies Fighting Parvo Diagnosis!
In the past week, we have had several puppies test positive for parvo. Parvo is a deadly, contagious disease that most commonly affects young puppies. Knowing how detrimental it can be, we quickly sprang into action in the fight for their lives.
After one week of constant care and fluids, most are beginning to improve, giving us hope that they will each have a long and healthy life with just a little more tender love and care. Unfortunately, there were a few puppies that were severely struggling.
Wedge and Spud, both only 2 months old, were fighting as hard as they could. Despite our best efforts, they took a turn for the worse. It is with heavy hearts that we share the sad news that Wedge and Spud lost their courageous battle with parvo. There was not a dry eye in sight as we processed these losses and said goodbye, comforted by the fact they were surrounded by a team that loved them like their very own and did everything in their power to save them. Rest in peace, Wedge and Spud.
All of the remaining pups are now fighting for their lives, too. They're in intensive care on medications and IV fluids in a desperate attempt to save them.
With so many sick animals at one time, it has stretched our resources and we need your help. All of these puppies have depleted our medications and IV fluids, which are very costly. Will you help join in the fight to save these poor sick babies by donating to our medical fund? Parvo medications and IVs are a costly expenditure, especially during these challenging times, and every little bit helps. Your donation, however big or small, will go a long way in helping us save these parvo puppies.
