Pasku and Tela

Pasku and Tela

Hello gang, what a day!!  We have been fighting for Brave Hearts life all day and so far she is still with us.  I raced home from walking the dogs at 11:30 from Saint Joris upon receiving a call from Aimee franticly telling me to get home quick!  When I got home she was breathing so hard so we loaded her and drove like the wind to the vet.  To our surprise the vet still thought she didn’t have parvo and just gave her another shot but said she didn’t have a temperature and she seemed hydrated so we took her back home.  At home the breathing became worse and Aimee was now in tears thinking this was it and desperately looked for another solution.  Well we got a call from Emily and the girls at work they suggested we get a second opinion.  Within 15 minutes we had another vet number 3 now show up directly to our doorstep!  He looked at her for 5 seconds and told us it was parvo and upon getting her to his clinic with a simple test proved it!  So we kind of started all over.  We laid poor Brave on the table and immediately gave her more fluids, checked her temperature and this time it was high!.  This little dog is in so much pain, her stomach is just killing her and combine that with 6 days of getting shots, not much food and very little to drink she just has nothing left!  We thought we lost her twice today but she is home again resting on our bedroom floor and seems to be a bit more calmed down.  We tried to lift her and take her outside to pee but the pain was too much and she just screamed!  So the fight continues, we will be up all night giving her fluids and a few more shots and hopefully back to the vet in the morning, keep those puppy prayers a coming!
 
For my poor neglected dolphin friends out there, this is a recent shot of baby Pasku and momma Tela!  What a great pair these two make!!  Little Pasku is by far the smartest and fastest learning dolphin I have seen to date, you can’t believe the stuff he’s doing!
 
Have to run, Barry
