It’s pretty funny how exciting normal body functions can be.
Yesterday the pup continued to drink water throughout the day – and kept it
down. He still wouldn’t take the special food that the Vet gave us so I was
administering ½ tsp at a time of chicken soup via eye dropper. Can’t say he really liked that
either, but I did this every half hour or so hoping to get some nutrients in
him and not overload his digestive system.
While my daughter-in-law was feeding the other dog his
kibble, the pup acted really excited. She tried 3 (count em, 3) kibbles that he
gobbled down – a quick call to the Vet confirmed that it was OK to let him eat –
at this point he NEEDED food.
Yes, he ate a bit more – drank more – slept through the
night and this morning a happy and hungry puppy greeted me. I'm still waiting to
see how ‘things process through’ him – if you get my drift. Today, I am more
hopeful that ever….today is the birthday party – today’s going to be a good
day!!!
NB – as with all Parvo cases, it is always a 50/50 chance of
survival - and very little hope during the darkest hours. I am filling my
gratitude pages with joy this morning. I know we can only breathe easy – not fully
out of the woods yet, but right now, my heart is bursting with love and
gratitude……I’ll take it.
