Parvo Update

Rhonda is a 4-5 Month old terrier possibly lab mix. She is very timid and will need a bit of socialization. She could use a foster who has patience and time to spend with her while she continues to learn to trust humans. She has come a long way, but has a ways left to travel. Has shown absolutely no sign of parvo and is scheduled to be released from quarantine on Monday.

We have a few crashing, but things are under control.  This is common when a pup contracts Parvo under this experimental treatment in my experience.  This is similar to the situation with Cassidy, Lisa, and Buck previously.  We are monitoring them hourly and they continue to stay hydrated, which is very important with Parvo.  We are on our 4th refill of Tamiflu and found a pharmacy that charges us $30 less than the one previously.  We still need sponsors – please consider donating! 

10-12 Week Old Black Lab Mix - Needing Foster Home for 2 weeks to allow her immune system to build back up after being exposed to Parvo. Sage resisted the virus and never showed any signs. She has been isolated for over 7 days now.
8-10 Week Old Terrier Mix - Needing Foster Home for 2 weeks to allow her immune system to build back up after being exposed to Parvo. Lisa was fighting Parvo for 3 days but overcame it and is eating, drinking and playing once again.
Cassidy is a 8-10 Week Old Rottie Mix Female. She came to me pretty punky but was immediately put on parvo prevention treatment. She has been non-stop energy since! Cassidy is already pre-adopted and needs a foster home for just 2 weeks.
James is a 10-12 week old Black Lab Mix Male. He is typically full of energy, but has now contracted what we believe the be the Parvo virus. He is continuing his medications and is being monitored hourly and staying hydrated - typically this will end after about 3-4 days. He is on day 2 today. He will be held until he is clear of any symptoms.
Natalie is an 8-10 Week old Lab mix Female Pup - we believe she will be small. She is currently on day 3 of showing signs of Parvo and is continuing her medications and is getting a bit more perky as the days go on. She is drinking, but not yet eating much. We are expecting to see symptoms subside in the next 24 hours. Once symptoms are gone, she will need a foster home for 2 weeks until she is strong enough for her Spay surgery.
Johnny is a 10-12 week old Border Collie Mix pup. He has shown slight signs of the parvo virus, but has continued to eat and drink and play. We is on isolation through Monday, February 1. He will need a foster home after this time for 2 weeks until h will be strong enough for his neuter surgery.
Oh Kora...8-10 week old Female Cora....WILD CHILD Cora....She used to be calm and sweet - now she is NON STOP ENERGY! So maybe she did contract the virus...some pups just blow it off that quick. She will need a VERY ACTIVE foster home for 2 weeks...
Shannon is a 10-12 Week old Black Lab Mix. She is very big and clumsy..she kinda gallops when she runs. She is a BUNDLE of joy and love and has shown no sign of Parvo. She has been in isolation for over 7 days now. She will need a foster home for 2 weeks before going in for her spay surgery.

Jennie is a 4-5 Month Old Terrier Mix. She is a VERY SWEET and submissive girl who could use a little help on the confidence end. She cowers down even when she's happy...Never a sign of Parvo - needs a foster home for 2 weeks until her spay appointment.
Armondo is a gorgeous chocolate and white male setter mix. He is currently experiencing signs of parvo for the last 3 days but is happy and active and we are praying for a turnaround within 24 hours. Once he recovers, he will need a foster home for 2 weeks.
Christy is a 10-12 week old female German Shepherd Mix Pup. She is very shy at first, but warms up quickly. She is very well behaved as well. She has shown slight signs of the parvo virus, but continues to eat and drink. She needs a foster home for 2 weeks.
Chris is a 10-12 week old Heeler Mix. He is very friendly, very playful and VERY sweet. Shown no signs of parvo and needs a foster for 2 weeks.
Sandy is a 10 week old Border Collie Mix Female pup. She is a parvo survivor. A confirmed case - she was hospitalized for 4 days and released yesterday, 1/28/10. She is doing well - a bit weak, but eating, drinking and even barking sometimes now!! She needs a foster home where she can get the attention that she so desperately needs.
 
Buck, Jack and Angel are also all doing very well.  Buck will go to his new foster home once the roads clear from this storm.  Jack is doing just wonderfully in his new foster home.  And Angel is just that – an absolute angel – and is lively, active, and eating like a HORSE!!!
 
Buck, awaiting the snow to clear, so he can go into his new foster home with Michelle!
Jack Loves his foster brothers and sisters - both human and canine and feline alike! Thanks Jenny (and Kelly...and no, she can't adopt him!)
Angel has turned the corner. She has lost a lot of weight, but is regaining her strength and has become VERY active! We expect her to regain her lost weight within a week or so. She LOVES her foster home - just wants to get out and play more than she is allowed to!!!

    I have a question. If Cassidy has been preadopted why not let them foster her so she dosn’t get attached to someone else then have to be moved again. Couldn’t they just follow the directions you would give to the foster family. Just curiose. Thanks Steph.

    Hi Steph,

    Thanks for your question – it’s a good one. Cassidy’s adopters are from out of state, and she needs to be healthy before she can travel. Would you be interested in fostering? Please pass the word along.
