re: Updated** 11/10 11:30AM. Parvo Puppy Thread!!!

I’m so sorry you’re going through this :( thank you for everything you’ve done for these babies.

Mine just shat out like 3 ft worm.

Thanks for that. It’s hard not to feel guilty though.

We still haven’t had the shelter get back in touch with us. We can’t abandon them so idk what we are going to do.

Two of the pups had to be put down? frick

I know. We have been ringing our local shelters off the hook for the past two days. I’m not sure if they get state funding to be some sort of rescue organization, but if so; I’ll gladly Provide a list of everyone of them that has not returned our calls, Facebook messages, or has just flat out turned us away because we don’t live in their municipality. It looks like our best option at this point is to do what we always do and take them down to the New Orleans ASPCA.

It’s been years since I’ve been around a puppy with Parvo but I remember the smell like it was yesterday.
It is the most vile smell you will ever experience.

Good luck & since it hasn’t been said enough, thanks to the OP for taking the pups in & everyone who adopted.

She’s had a bit of diarrhea today since I got back from the vet but it doesn’t smell as foul as my internet research says it should if she has Parvo.

Trust me, its a smell you will never forget and hope you never smell again. We had a 3yo present with parvo last week and I'm still trying to get the smell out of the iso room.

ETA: It would be ideal to get them all fecal tested for giardia et al if you haven't done so already.

dude you've gone above and beyond
I'd shake your hand and buy you a beer if you saved one dog much less nine

if this is all that can be done bring them to the shelter
they'll have at least a tiny chance before they are mercifully relived of a shite situation they didn't ask for

you did good

Thanks bud.

The rest of the pups are going to be tested for parvo first thing in the morning.

I’m not sure if they’d want me to disclose who they are but another poster has offered to assist with paying for the parvo tests in hopes that one will be available for adoption. This person is truly selfless and I am in awe of just how great some people can be.

I’ve done everything I could to keep these pups alive, but Skeet, Geauxxx, and KellsBells have all stepped up hugely and gone out of their way to extend their homes to these girls. I’m hoping for the best possible outcome for the ones remaining to be tested.

I’m as big of a smartass on this board as almost anyone, and most days we all give each other a lot of crap. The support these past few days just makes me thankful to be a part of this weird community of anonymous cohorts.

BTW, about parvo, try to keep them separated. Parvo can be transferred through feces and will last a long time. Study up on it.
