We found out today our puppy Marley has parvo. The vet said 70% to 80% don't make it. He said if we were super diligent she had about a 50% chance. I am going to trust God we are in the right 50%. We have to get up every hour all night and try to get her to drink Pedialyte and eat some special food. We will take her back in the morning for another IV. He said she is going to throw up and poo all over our house, but any she keeps down will help. She has kept the 1st dose down and it is now time to give the 2nd round, please pray it goes as smoothly. If she is still here in 3-5 days she should be ok. Please pray for Marley, our sanity, and our kids' hearts.
Update:
Sadly, even getting up every hour with her last night she was just too little and we lost her at 7 am in my arms on the way to the vet. She did wonderfully through 4 am even getting up to drink on her own accord. However, at 5 she was really struggling and I called the vet at 6:30 to meet me up there before they open. She was just too sick. This is very hard.

Oh goodness.......now that the baby is sleeping thru the night......dang it!
I'm so sorry Kelly. It's so hard to lose a pet. Hugs!!
I'm so sorry to hear this. I'll be praying for the boys.
I am truley sorry Kell! My heart goes out to you, Dustin and the boys!!!! My heart breaks as tears roll down my face for you! She was just such a sweet puppy, and you waited so long to get her! At least you tried all you could! Remember you put it in God's hands and he did what he thought best. We might not understand why just yet or maybe never, but you gave it to him. I love you all, and my heart breaks for you and with you.
I am sorry to hear about the puppy. I'll be praying for a happy event to come along for your family to ease the sadness of this sad one. :-(
I just read this (the 2nd). I am so sorry. Our little puppy died in my lap as I rushed her to the vet. It was so terrible. I was hysterical. I wasnt seriously bonded, but having to come home and break the news to Callie & Braden about killed me. Her reaction was so sad and the next few days there was a sad cloud on our home. We all cried and did some chuck-e-cheese to distract us from our sad. I remember Callie realizing the first time she laughed after Snowball died & she said, "I kinda feel normal and not all sad inside." I was frustrated at myself because I kept thinking- be logical- this is just a dog. BUT, it didnt help. I was still so sad and it was so real. Snow was only a couple months old and we had gotten her from a breeder (watching & visiting with her from birth) only a month before. So, it was still all so new & fun for the kids. Anyway, tough stuff. I understand & I will lift you guys up so you can start laughing again and not have that cloud of sad on your hearts!
OH, so sorry to hear! Just now catching up!
