thank you both so much.

i keep reading online that if a dog survives parvo they will most likely be sick and weakly for the rest of their lives? is this true?

i should probably stop filling my head with negatives.

NOT TRUE! Dogs do quite well after a recovery form parvo.
I know how worried you must be and you are right...stop reading the negative things as it will only add to your stress.
Try to rest and keep strong for your pups return to you once he kicks butt with those nasty parvo bugs!

Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry to hear about your puppy!!! I'm glad she's getting the care she needs though, but I'm sure you're worried sick. Oh, I hope she feels better by tomorrow morning - I'm sure she will. Poor Layla!

i'm not even in a suitable state to go to walmart and buy bleach to disinfect. i'm an absolute mess. i've had dogs all of my life but i've never felt such a connection with any animal like i do layla. i'm heartbroken already.

i'm just hoping for the best. she only experienced symptoms nearly 2 hours before we got her to the vet. her stools were firm and not even bloody before we got her to the vet where she first experienced diarrhea.

i've thrown out all toys and beds. i'm going to hit the floors, bathroom, and yard with bleach if my face ever returns to normal.

thank you all for the kind words.

I'm so sorry to hear about Layla. Sending healing thoughts your way.

I am so sorry to hear Layla is sick with Parvo. It sounds like you have caught it early, and with you taking her to the Vet so quickly, I am sure she will get better soon. I had a little Doxie that got Parvo at nine months. She had all of her Parvo shots, and still got it. She was extremely sick, and we nearly lost her, as she was so small to begin with. But.....I wanted to tell you, she did get better, after a week at the Vet's, and we brought her home. She was never sick after that, and lived to be just one week shy of her 16th birthday! so, please don't think they will always be sickly afterwords....it just isn't true! Sending you lots of hugs, and many well wishes for your Sweet little girl.
