and if so deadly in a puppy. I know, have had puppies to catch in my own yard. How horrible and what you are describing sounds exactly like that. You have to seek attention immediately.

Not normal if something deadly that could happen-
you know he has sleep apnea and can be deadly and you call that normal? I probably would take him myself to the doctor but then I really am in love with my husband.
parvo
So sorry to hear about your dog. It seems he should have gotten all his shots at the animal control/police department. I don't know if he could have inherited it from his mother since he was so young? The treatment for that disease is so expensive I hear. At least you gave him a home and love before he died instead of dying in the cold shelter all alone. Just remember that you gave him a chance and hopefully when your hearts have healed you will get another dog because there are so many homeless animals just waiting to be adopted. God bless you and your family.
I have lost puppies to parvo before
and some have pulled through. The dogs can literally get down and die overnight. One thing I can tell you is the fact parvo can stay in your yard for ever and ever. I never got rid of it in mine over say 10 years or so. Question to you, how old is your puppy and when you took to the veterinarian, was the puppy carried in or walked in? Sorry you have this problem and I will say a little prayer for the furry one.
Wow -I'm so sorry they treated you like that! (sm)
She just be jealous of you in general - there is something about you that she thinks is better than her. Smarter? Prettier? There's something. She is just seeing you as her competition, but you are his sister for goodness sake!! I'm just sorry your trip was like that and that your brother seems trapped in the middle of it.
My vet said that parvo can live in your soil for up to 7 years.
Also that puppies have a lot of the antibodies in their system from their mothers for a couple of months after birth and that if the parvo immunization is given to early, it can be ineffective because of that.
Also, fleas can spread parvo as well, which my new puppy did get fleas right before she got sick. I try to treat fleas quickly, but I guess I may not have caught them quick enough.
Parvo is highly contagious for months -
She will be contagious for months and she has already infected the yard where we live. I did not do anything wrong - she contracted this virus when we took her to the vet's office last week for her first set of shots.
I just don't see what exactly they are doing if she is not vomiting, has never developed diarrhea, and she is eating on her own. It does not seem to me like they are doing very much except charging me money to keep her!

I'm so glad she's getting treated now..
I'm glad you were able to figure out what it was so she can be treated! Good luck!
They shouldn't be treated the same
A 15yo and an 8yo should not be treated equally anyway. If the 15yo wants what the 8yo wants, tell him/her they can have the same bedtime, curfew, privileges etc. if they want everything to be fair.
Hashimoto's but that is being treated
and supposedly under control but the hair is still dry, etc., etc. and so fly away. Thanks for the info.
He could be treated privately at my home
and I would not breathe a word of it......to my husband. That man exudes sexuality. The older he gets, the better, just like fine wine.
A friend of mine was treated much
worse than that right after surgery. For one thing they wouldn't even fix the broken A/C even though her room was about 90 degrees! The plastic surgeon botched her surgery, so she had huge open wounds he couldn't close. She was allergic to tape, and could only tolerate one kind, but even as she'd tell nurses this, they'd stick Band-Aids on her! So it wasn't even just ONE bad nurse - the whole bunch was careless at best all the way up to sadistic. She should have sued.
Exactly, lol, and anyone who is treated like a true princess does not work! lol
Oh now she'll say but I like having my own money, so I can give to charity...blah, blah. We've heard it before. Hogwash, cause why can't hubby do that too?. Oh, hmmmm, he's just not THAT nice or THAT well off, is he? Oh I see. LOL!!!
