praying here too!

Jiffy and Lynne Thank you

I am also praying for little Emmy Lou . Triss I have contacted my Granddaughter who has two of the pups she said hers did not have worms or anything wrong. I grilled her pretty good and told her how important it was to make sure. She will contact her friend that got the other one and see how hers is . Her friend is a vet tech at a Vet's office in Plano. Still waiting to hear back.

DIane, I only just read these posts about her being so sick!!! I'm so sorry!!! I'm praying for her too. I can't believe this happened just since I was looking and those darling, playful pictures of her!!! It seems so sudden!
I certainly hope the vet gets her taken care of in a hurry.

I'm so sorry to hear this Diane! I will keep little Emmy Lou in my prayers!

according to MY vet He said worms are passed to the puppies as they pass thru the uterus at birth and again in nursing, and expelled then puppies walk and play thru other expellsions and the parasites can enter thru the skin , paw pads, toys, drinking out of shared water/food bowl, laying in same area where other animals lay ..., etc. How only one of four get the worms is a medical mystery,, I asked the Vet today IF it is possible only one would get the worms and he said 99% sure worms will show up in stool eventually in ALL of them because they had not been wormed at 2,4,6,8 weeks of age or possibly not current to date. When puppys have a big round tight Belly and dull coats the possibliity of it having worms is 100% when the pup is under 3 months old. FRom what I saw all of the pups had big round tight Bellies and I had even mentioned How big the bellies were .
Emmy was dehydrated and enemic from loss of blood in stool, and vomiting She is off the drip for parvo but still on drip for glucose. Today The Dr, administerd Further treatments with an eyedrop and she has eaten 2 teaspoons of a soft special meal diet but refuses any other food today so far,, Tomarrow they will see if she will drink on her own~ today she refuses. The Dr said Fortunately she is not in shock<-- Which is a sure sign of certain death from parvo. I'm sooo glad I was able to get off work and get home early enough in the day yesterday to get her to a vet!

Allie the mother is at the vet's now getting complete physical total blood work all the tests. Her boosters are not due till June 23. After all this she will be spade.

Treatment for parvo has come far!
My friend has a yellow lab who had parvo as a pup. He's ....uh...counting.... I need more fingers.... about 13 or 14 years old now! There is hope!!
I am anxious for you Diane and Emmy Lou! Keep positive!! Thing will get better!!

thanks for the update diane.

and jimmy, getting allie spayed is the right thing. the pups are beautiful, and i'm positive have good homes, but you know, if there were enough good homes to go around... i love my dogs, but i make spaying or neutering the first thing i do 99% of the time i get an animal. it is just too important.

thank you jimmy for being such a great critter keeper

and thank you diane for keeping us posted on emmy AND posting the things that we all need to know as dog owners... may i never have another puppy, but if i do, you've given me good info

shes so cute! hope she gets better,

Awwwwwwwwwwww Wrennie is an Auntie again!!!

She sent Emmy an new toy to play with!!!
I have it sitting on top of Emmy's crate for her home coming Sunday Possible Saturday IF Emmy eats at least 1/4 cup of food twice on Friday then she'll come home saturday otherwise it will be Sunday, Today she ate 1/4 cup for the day so she is eating more everyday, They even let her out of her medical crate to get some exercise the Tech said she even ran!!! .. IT looks like she has turned the corner to recovery and a home coming!!! I want to Thank everyone for the prayers and phone calls of concern!!

Diane, what a cute puppy Emmy is!!! I am so glad she is doing better. Seeing your furbabies get sick is heart~wrenching and I am glad her guardian angel was watching over her!

Diane I am very happy to know Emmy is getting better and coming home.

Allie came through her spay surgery well only had round worms she is doing great outside of being sore she has been home since Wednesday.

jimmy that's great that allie did the spaying well. you might want to go ahead and check on low cost neutering for the male dogs, just incase you find another female on your doorstep!

and diane, it's time for a puppy update

Is my pupniece coming home today?

I'm expecting a call from the Vet tech today around 3pm,, I went to see Emmy this morning and she had just finishing eating and was very playful. She was barking too~ this was the first time I had heard her bark!! Kinda like the first time you heard your child say their first word then they never be quiet once they figure out it means communicating!
They are going to give her a bath and one more feeding then a call about 3 soo Until then I will get her crate a good disinfecting and get her Auntie Wreenies toy front and center to greet her!!..

Here it is 6:30pm and Emmy has been home for a little while!! She has played and sleep and played again~~~

Here she is getting introduced to Auntie Wrennies toy
and playing with it.....





and Here is a great big puppy smile for all your prayers and good wishes and Thankyou !!!!!!

Hello angelblossom Emmy Lou is so sweet I was reading all the well wishes and sitting here crying so grateful she is doing fine and is she still bitting your toes?Ha,ha she is so little and she is now a part of you honey take care and give Emmy Lou a big hug and kiss! Rita

Awwwww Thanks Friends!!

Yes Rita she is still trying to bite my toes IT tickles But I make her stop so she doesn't think it's okay ~ I wouldn't want her thinking it's okay to chase toes of company if they have sandles on ~~ Might not be a good thing Huh??

Julian My youngest Grandson meets Emmy! They both took to each other nicely!! Julian is used to dogs as they have 2 dogs at their house , but this is his first site of a puppy sooo much smaller that what he has at home!

Diane - that is just sooooooooo precious!!!

Diane, that picture is just too sweet!! What a wonderful 'meet and greet' between Emmy and Julian!!

Diane, I'm going to be saving all the stories and pictures about Emmy, just like the Willies!!

Oh Diane, what a cute picture of Emmy & Julian! They are both pretty darned cute!
