Oh so glad he's home! And what a handsome fella he is! You're such a great pawrent to rush him to the vet when you realized something wasn't right. You're quite the natural! :hug:

Well Buddy is home and his old self. She said ( the vet) he did not have a bad case of Parvo. She had seen much much worst. Cost,> $1872.00 Level 1 care, bio hazard fees , catheter sets drugs , ect > 2 pages. They already faxed my insurance company with the claim form and even Dr Burns said Trupanion with pay it all except the 10% co pay I have so that's a relief. She said she called the pharmaceutical company " Merial" or Meril. Don't exactly know how you spell it but Buddy has had 5 vaccinations for Parvo and still got it. She said we have a case number with them whatever that is supposed to mean. There are mixed opinions out there on if a dog can get parvo twice but most are saying no He will build a immunity to it now. I have 2 medications ( pills) I give him one of each twice a day. One is Clavamox and one is Metrondazole 250mg. I have to keep Buddy away from all other dogs for 3 weeks and have to spray where he poops with bleach and water every time as well. What a nightmare ! Well hopefully the worst is over. After picking him up from the vet you have never seen a happier puppy in your life. Buddy was so happy I had to pull over. He was all over my truck in my lap in my friends lap. Like Thank God for getting me out of there. I have brought him outdoors twice since we got home. Pee both times no poop. He is eating like a starved animal. I bathed him ( what a stench poor guy) cleaned his folds on his face. his tail pocket and cleaned his ears with the epi -optic solution. Now he is in his crate and resting. Well just thought I would fill you in on what happened. Thanks everyone for your support. Hero

Tears and smile.... what a sweet vision of him being so happy to be with you in the car and home in his crate all snug, clean, comfy and happy!! GREAT job.... give him hugs for all of us!

So So happy he is home with you!!!
