London doing great!

Today I was able to go visit London and take new photos. The veterinary hospital has been giving me daily updates but to see him in person was a delight. London is doing very good. He is now on oral medication, having normal stools, no vomiting, and just a playful, happy puppy. If all goes well, he will be transferred to a regular hospital kennel where he will have more room to romp around and while still being kept away from the other dogs, can have more freedom. By the end of next week, again if all goes to plan, he will be ready to move to a foster home, initially with no other dogs. Once cleared by the veterinarians, he will be neutered and available for adoption. I would like to thank everyone who has been watching his progress and for your support. He's doing great.

Outlook great for London!

Our little guy is doing terrific. He has had no vomiting or diarrhea for the last couple days, is totally off his IV fluids and receiving oral medication now. I will be visiting him tomorrow and can take some updated photos. He’s happy, getting very active and wants to play now. If all goes well, he will be moved into a hospital kennel early next week.

London improves!

London continues to improve and is now eating more and thankfully no vomiting today. He is much more active and wanting to interact with whoever comes in to care for him. I love sending out these improvement notes and hope to continue with them.

Parvo pup doing better

I spoke to the vet this afternoon and London is doing somewhat better. He is interested in eating – just a little bit, but there is interest. He is interacting with the veterinary staff and gives tail wags when they come in to check on him. He also is starting to act like a little Golden and perking up some. So there has been improvement today, even if a baby step, but improvement. Thank you for caring.

London update

This afternoon I received a phone call from Dr. Brown, who has been working with our little London. He is holding his own but is still in very serious condition. His fever is down, and he is still on IV fluids, along with several antibiotics, medication to control the vomiting and also medication to help with his protein loss. They are all being given by IV. I’ll update as I learn more about his condition

Parvo puppy needs your help!

I received a call this afternoon that the shelter had just taken in a 4-5 month-old boy that had tested positive for Parvo. He had to have an immediate exit if he could be helped. Thanks to one of our volunteers who jumped into her car to run and get him he is now at the vets receiving treatment. Parvo is a very devastating disease for young dogs and we all pray that this boy received help in time. He is just the cutest young guy and deserves a chance to run in the fields, chase tennis balls, and get hugs for a long life. Please keep him in your thoughts and donate if you can as treatment is costly.
