Several Pups Are Sick With Parvo

UPDATE MAY 21: Three new intakes, Hyacinth, Daphne and Francesca, have also now tested positive for parvovirus. Their sister, Eloise, is on watch for parvovirus as well but doing well so far! Please send your best to all of our sick puppies – they need all the help they can get right now.

We have three confirmed very sick puppies, and three more we are worried about, who need urgent help.

Denner, Kahlua and Elara have all tested positive for canine parvovirus, while their littermates Jeanie, Abbie and Wyson are all headed to the veterinarian for testing. They have already started showing symtpoms and we are worried that the entire litter is sick.

Parvovirus is a highly contagious and potentially fatal disease that causes fever, vomiting, lethargy and loss of appetite, among other worrisome symptoms. Unvaccinated puppies are highly susceptible to the disease, and treatment is not always enough to save an infected dog.

We are going to do everything we can to save these 3-month-old babies. Although 24-hour hospitalization is costly, it is what they need, and we are determined to give them the very best chance at survival.

Your gift will make a massive difference. With your help, we can ensure these pups get the medical attention they so desperately need. If you're able, please help us give Denner, Kahlua, Jeanie, Elara, Abbie and Wyson a fighting chance.

Email updates showing the puppies' progress will be provided to those who donate towards their care. Read their first email update here, second email update here and third email update here.

Care requirements include hospitalization, IV medication administration, repeated bloodwork daily, medication, personal protective equipment, time spent in isolation and medication administration by a vet or tech, along with daily care until Denner, Kahlua, Jeanie, Elara, Abbie and Wyson are feeling better and ready for adoption. 

If the amount raised for these pups exceeds their cost of care, funds will help other animals in need.
