The update we couldn't wait to share with you!
We are on day EIGHT today. Eight long days of Jenn and Sarah fighting to keep these 5 puppies alive. We're happy to report they're passed the worst of it! These happy pups have good appetites now, and their guts are doing well. They are currently still on medication, eating Gastro food with Fortiflora and getting stronger and healthier each and every day.
It has been an exhausting eight days, but we are so happy that these 5 came out on top. Unfortunately, this isn't always the case and owners/rescues that deal with Parvovirus don't always get happy endings.
They will continued to be quarantined and monitored closely and next weekend we will retest them. Once a 14 day hold period is up (from this past Sunday) we will be able to transfer to a rescue, and hopefully just in time for Christmas!
Our strict cleaning protocols will remain in place for the unforeseeable future.
Without your support, none of this would have been possible. We are so appreciative to those who have donated to their care, those who are helping us stock up on supplies to alleviate the burden of purchasing hundreds of dollars of cleaning product, specialty food etc..
Fun fact: we have used 20 jugs of bleach since late last week! (This isn't including Prevail or Virkon usage)
Aspen, Tinsel, Spirit, Claus and Buddy are sending their wet, slobbery kisses to everyone who made it possible for this happy outcome.
