Hope she keeps improving. The raspberries just made me smile. Your min pin better come home soon or you might have some wierd puppies. LOL We are keeping her still in our prayers.

thank you both for the kind thoughts. we're hoping her symptoms stay to a bare minimum like today so she can eat and get her energy back. my house is so empty without both my pups.

and yes, LOL. my min pin loves to sit on the guest bed and stare out the window. the bird climbs up the bed (he seriously has the run of the house) and sits within inches of her and regurgitates food for her. so weird...

just saw this, hope your sweet girl is able to come home soon. thinking of you and Layla.

Sending positive thoughts and prayers tonight for Layla, that she will be able to keep food down tomorrow, and be able to come home very soon. I know how much you miss her! Hugs being sent to all of you tonight.

I'm sorry to hear she's had such a rough time with this, still throwing up, poor baby! But she's probably just getting it all out of her system, I'm sure she will be feeling much better today or tomorrow.

it's really breaking my heart that she's still fighting it. i was hoping it would be gone by now, but she's slowly improving.

they thought she was going to be able to go home on the third day. my mind is reeling. i know after the 5 day hump, people say they're pretty much free & clear on survival and it's just a matter of time before they can hold their food.

I sure hope Layla holds her food down and gets to come home soon. At least she is doing pretty well, but I know you miss her and worry about her.

It sounds like the bird is either mothering your min pin or trying to interest her in some "other" activities. I once had an ostrich fall in love or lust with me. That was funny, but I was glad he was behind a 6' chain link fence.

okay, home from the vet away. got there at 2 it is now 4. doh.

she had soft, unformed stool this morning (not parvo diarrhea, though). apparently layla did vomit once very early this morning but instead of doing it on all her blankets, she did it in the corner and proceeded it cover it with a towel so she didn't have to lay in it. crazy dogs. the vet also said she is not as lethargic and weak as before.

when i got there, she immediately stood to greet us with her tail wagging. she was very attentive with eyes fully open. she was in very good spirits and i feel as if she's returning to her old self. she is constantly watching the cats eat (she's in the cat ward where it's quiet) and perks up SO quickly anytime she hears a bag open assuming it's food. they took her off of the IV while we were there and will be giving her SQ fluids and seeing how she does. hopefully she'll be able to eat soon, but they're waiting to make sure her GI system rests a bit more.

we'll be going back tonight around 9pm to see how she's doing. thank you all for continued support.
