Thank you everybody for the warm welcome. The cat "Sammy" is now tolerating Maggie more and has given her a few hisses and has smacked her a couple times but didn't put his claws in her. Maggie has fully recovered from her Parvo and is growing like crazy. She is 13 weeks now and knows her name...

Hi everybody, my names Matt. I live in Spruce Grove, Alberta which is just outside Edmonton. I have a 10 week old tri Sheltie "Maggie", who is a ball of energy and is just go, go, go. I have a few posts on here already from when Maggie had Parvo but never introduced myself. Maggie is actually my...

My breeder recommended a raw diet too, but I have always been told to stay away from chicken and pork bones because they splinter and can lodge in a dog’s throat. I have only ever had larger dogs in the 70 to 100 lb range before I got my sheltie "Maggie". With the shelties being smaller and...

Maggie has been home for a couple days now and is getting more and more energetic. She does have a bit of a limp on her front right leg but I think it's just from having the I.V in for so long, it is getting better. The issues have been resolved and she has agreed to pay the vet bill. It was...

Maggies Home I wasn't really expecting Maggie home today by my phone call to the vet this morning, but this afternoon when I called they said she looked good, keeping her food down, no fever and she still has sort of runny poop but I wouldn't call it diarrhea. She looks a little scruffy, needs...

I talked to the vet twice today. Maggie has been keeping her food down not throwing up anymore and lost her fever. She does still have some diarrhea and is still on the IV. When we called back this afternoon the vet didn't say she was out of the woods but she has drastically improved. They won't...

Hi Noneeds4me, I read back through my Saturday post and I did not directly tell the results of the stool sample and blood work. It did turn out to be Parvo and to get the results of the samples only took about half an hour. Sorry for the confusion, I don't think I was in a very calm state of...

Some Good News The vet called at 10am and said Maggie has improved, she is alert and perky- the vets wording. They are even going to try to give her some food this afternoon. When I saw "SPG VET" on the caller ID my heart dropped and just assumed the worse, glad I answered though. There are 7...

We called the vet this morning and Maggie is still hanging on, she isn’t doing any better or any worse her fever has dropped though. Going from what we were told yesterday we were hoping for some improvement today but the vet we talked to today told us that it can take any where from 2-4 days to...

Thank you very much everybody for your support. Well, we got Maggie into the vet and before I was done telling the vet what she had been doing, the vet thought it was Parvo Virus. They took a stool sample and blood test got her on the IV giving her anti biotics and other medication. The Dr. gave...
