Loving my Oldies Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 I haven't looked at this thread for a few days (I'm chicken :D ), I've been so worried, but decided to be brave and what do I see. Great news. You go Astro - mummy and your family need you. Great news, Rascal. Hopefully it is all up and up from now on. What a little fighter your beautiful boy is.

Elise+Hudson Posted February 6, 2014 Share Posted February 6, 2014 So glad to hear Astro is doing well :) Having to treat many parvo patients I know exactly the ups and downs and heartbreak it causes. I just wanted to note as has been said previously in this thread, but you will have to be very vigilant in future with unvaccinated or young dogs on your property. F10 works wonders on surfaces, but parvovirus can survive in the soil for anywhere between 7 and 10 years and sadly nothing has been proven to get rid of it from the soil.

Rascalmyshadow Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Don't worry I worked in a vet clinic for 13years so I know all the risks. The day has come, I have 5 1/2 hours til I get to bring my boy home, I have never been away from any of my dogs for this amount of time. Counting down.........

Sheridan Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Late to the thread. Glad to hear he's doing okay. Can I ask, what was his vaccination regime before you forgot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascalmyshadow Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 He had his two puppy vaccs but no booster. I hour to go, starting to get butterflies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascalmyshadow Posted February 7, 2014 Author Share Posted February 7, 2014 Ok last update: Astro is home, he is very weak and he looks awful, he had no food for eight days, his eyes look sort of bulgy and glassy and he has a lost look about him. He's going to need round the clock care for another week, he has to stay confined and no one else can touch him for that time. Another thank you to everyone for your support, I'm happy to have him home but seeing him like this is very distressing, I just hope he gets his old personality once he's better.

lynst Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Great news that Astro is home. It will be a big relief to you too. He will improve much better at home with his family. Especially his mum. Sending healing vibes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 gee you will really have to keep him comfy in this heat and not let him get dehyrated too. I'm sure he's happier with you than at the vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSoSwift Posted February 8, 2014 Share Posted February 8, 2014 Great news, being home will help lift his and everyone else's spirits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascalmyshadow Posted February 8, 2014 Author Share Posted February 8, 2014 We've had a whole day of keeping 2 hourly feeds down, Astro even started barking for attention, my little man's personality is back but his bark has changed quite a bit, not as high pitched.
