Parvo

Have heard good and bad. Pup at the vet or at home?

Yes. But you have to act fast and (hopefully) catch it early. My mother bought our dog from a breeder. The poor thing was already infected (unbeknownst to us or the breeder) when we got her. Which is very weird because none of her brothers or sisters ever got the virus.

She was very lethargic at first, wouldn't eat, and then started to vomit. The first vet we took her to diagnosed her with gastritis, but when the vomiting didn't stop we took her to another vet for a second opinion. The tests came back positive for parvo. Thankfully it was in its early stages and we were very aggressive with her treatment. We put her up in a vet hospital for an entire week. They administered fluids and medication and eventually she came back good as new.

It's a tough process though and it can cost you a pretty penny. But if you genuinely love your animal, you'll do what is necessary.

We picked up a rescue puppy last year. Developed parvo about a week later. A week in the Vets ICU and about $1200 later, good as new! Coulda bought a champion blood line lab puppy for the $$ we spent! Vet said most never make it out alive.
