I do recall the turkey baster and the electrolites with my last dog. I hope your situation turns out better. I also hope your vet will tell you if and when it is time to put the puppy down.
Best to you and Grits.

My heart goes out to you, Val. I do know what your going thru. Keep your chin up and we'll all be thinking of you and your little guy.

Ok... I think I could be hallucinating the 70's and maybe early 80's??? but I really think Grits is turning around. I took one dose of the all the xperts advice and 90 percent of Valeries Q's from the dog and Grits is literally 180 degrees from what he was 30 hours ago. He is alert, he is up, he is even humping my leg, dont want to get my hopes up to much,,, but c'mon he is humping my leg, I would say we have taken a turn for the better...his stool had just a bit of firmness tonight, Jeez who knew my best Valentine present this year would be firmer stools, hey I'll take it....man I feel good, this is great....this is the definition of happiness....

Give Grits a hug for me.
 

I was gald tosee your last post that it looks like things may be taking a turn for the better.

I have my 13 year old lab laying at my feet while I type. I dread the time when the invitable comes as any pet becomes a part of the family.

Glad to hear Grits is getting better.

The more I think about it, the symptoms seem a lot like Parvo. Any connection?

I'm sure the vets have set up the foods he will need to eat to get back to normal and regain strength and weight. I would be willing to bet they are telling you about the low survival rate for these type illnesses.

Really glad to hear he's improving. Humping your leg is just his way of thanking you for hanging in there.

Best wishes, Bill

Val,
That sounds great. Anytime a dog is interested in anything but laying down they are better. Perhaps a few day and proper diet and he will be up and about like a new dog. :D
