Canine Parvovirus Strikes

February 20, 2009, Friday

This morning at 6AM, we received a terrible news from our vet. Green died at 3AM today due to Parvovirus.

He was my favorite among the litter. He was malambing even if he's quite an iyakin, I still like him. Who wouldn't? He already sees me as his master. He would whine whenever I leave him behind.

He was already mine... I begged my mom to have him instead of adopting him out. He became mine, but Parvovirus took him away from me.

Monday morning, 12AM, he pooped. His poop was a bit soft but I found no traces of blood nor any foul odor, as far as I can recall.

1AM, he vomited.

Almost every hour, he would vomit. I opened a bottle of Pedialyte to prevent him from getting dehydrated. But he wouldn't drink much.

3AM, he vomited again, so I texted our vet hoping she'd be awake.

As I wait, he fell asleep. I observed him and hoped that he wouldn't vomit again. Hoping that he only ate something bad that gave him an upset tummy. Unfortunately, he vomited again.

So I called our vet afterwards (4AM) and told her in detail what has happened.

4:30AM, my bro and I were preparing to leave to bring Green to the vet when I saw he pooped. That was probably the 3rd or 4th time already. This time his stool was very loose already but still no trace of blood.

Around 5AM, the vet checked for his stats and gave him IV. He was still very masigla that time. He was whinning and crying so I stayed by his side to comfort him. I was still hoping it was nothing serious. But then, his poop started to have a foul smell.


I thought everything would be well since we have the vet treat him early. But I didn't understand that Parvo doesn't work in that manner. Parvo attacks mercilessly. The worst part is that there is no direct cure for the virus. All the vet could do is prevent secondary complications like dehydration etc.

By the end of the day, he was still fine. He even ate, but his stool was still loose so we couldn't bring him home.

As the day passes, I was hoping that Green would get better and better. But he didn't. He grew weaker and weaker little by little each day. Yesterday, he was quite matamlay. I was starting to loose hope but I shoved the feeling away. I told him, as I have been doing, that he has to fight off the disease. That his ka-tropa are waiting for him. That I'm waiting for him too and that we would come home together. But he never made it...

I really miss him.. He hasn't been home since Monday until today, Friday. He would never be. His home is somewhere else, in a place where he would no longer get sick. Where Sydney, Benjie and all the others have gone first. I really wish there is a rainbow bridge waiting for them. Also, that they too, have souls and that one day we would be together again.

Goodbye Green/ Lincoln... we miss you already.... Your stay, though short, was full of life. (November 28, 2008 ~ February 20, 2009).

To mommies and daddies (of beloved pets): Please take care of your pets. Be a responsible owner and have them vaccinated properly. Give them the love and care the deserved. I don't know much about caring for pets aside for dogs. But losing one, I knew the pain. Let's not wait to learn our lessons the hard way...

We gave Green/ Lincoln the best we can. But the vaccine for Parvo didn't seem to have taken effect. Still, I couldn't help but regret that maybe we missed out on something....

Brothers and sisters, I want to quickly tell all here how my dog was cured of his Anemia Due to Iron Deficiency. Rhod Minster is my name, and I live in USA. My dog was diagnosed of Anemia Due to Iron Deficiency months ago, and my dog begins go slimmer by the day. His doctor said this disease have no cure, my dog is going to die. So I was already crying waiting for that faithful day my dog will finally die. But after some time, my friend came visiting and saw how slim my dog was so she asked what was wrong with my dog, and I told her but she said to me that a doctor who is a specialist in dogs uses herbal process to cure her own dog of lyme disease , and also another was cured of parvovirus and that since then her dog was cured, her dog have been doing very fine. So she gave me the contact details of her dog, and I contacted the said doctor his name is Doctor Uwadia Amenifo. I explained to him what my dog is passing through and promised to help me save my dog, so we made necessary arrangements and he prepared the herbal medicine, and sent it to me in USA. So I was giving the medicine to my dog just as he directed and behold my dog so responded positively to his medicine, and today my dog is totally cured of his long suffered Anemia Due to Iron Deficiency. So I decide to come here and tell all whose dog has a one deadly disease or the other to quickly contact Doctor Uwadia Amenifo.
