i appreciate all of your help.

i actually looked up bloat on this forum and someone mentioned about how they assume strange positions. layla went to drink again and then vomited once more. since she obviously couldn't hold down water, i decided to take her to a 24/hr vet. every one was very nice and understanding of my financial situation so i'm very glad i went where i went.

they did a fecal float and she had whipworms. within 10 minutes of the tech leaving, layla had a severe episode of diarrhea on the floor. they did a snap test and she tested positive for parvo. she had her last booster nearly 2 days ago and it was too late. they are treating her for the next 3-7 days at the vet. she is hooked up to antibiotics and vitamins among other things. they told me they have lost only 2 dogs to parvo out of thousands and that we brought her in at just the right time. she quoted me 500-600$ since i am a student. i gave them $140 which was all i had.

i am so distraught. i haven't stopped bawling for the past 3 hours. i hope everything will be okay.
