Hello everyone,
I am new to the forums here and am new to being a Chihuahua owner. The dog was purchased from a breeder on May 28th and she is about 9 weeks old now. About two days after getting her home she began exhibiting the signs of Parvovirus (Tuesday the 31st of May is when she became symptomatic), as a result I quickly took her to the Vet. She came back strong positive for Parvo and has been in a 24 hour animal hospital since Tuesday afternoon (She is receiving fluids, potassium, dextrose, etc all through IV and is fighting for her life). Needless to say I am a total wreck and cannot stop worrying about my new pup.
I just wanted to share my story with you all and possibly hear some of your experiences with this horrible disease. I am still waiting to hear back from the Vet tonight on the status of her white blood cell count =(.
