New Update on Rocky

We saw Rocky at the vet today (twice actually). This morning the vet said that he came in and Rocky had chewed his catheter out, so he figured he'd try some food and Rocky happily woofed it down. Then we came in with some cookies that Lainey sent and he gobbled those up too. The vet said that all 3 of them had a little diarrhea still so he didn't want to send them home, and that the little brown pup was doing better, but this morning wasn't as active as she was before and that he may have to keep her for a few more days. Then we went back this afternoon and Rocky was SO happy to see us. You can tell that he just wants OUT of that place. He was wagging his tail, lickining us, even did his 'paw slap' to the face. And when we were leaving he was whining and crying. Broke our hearts, but we know he is getting excellent care and will be home tomorrow. The little brown pup was much more active this afternoon when we went in. We could hear her barking out in the lobby, so she maybe able to come home today if her diarrhea clears up. The black pup ate a little yesterday but she didn't. If they aren't eating they can't go home either. Bummer. But just knowing that they will recover is worth it. Just keep the pawcircle going for the little brown pup because she's having a hard time. She is the runt of the liter and not as strong. All the other pups at home are doing well and none look like they will get sick. Parvo has an incubation period of a week to 10 days. If they were exposed that time period should almost be up.
I just wanted to thank everyone who made a donation. You don't know what that means to us. We are normally prepared for an emergency with one of the animals, but we were never prepared for this, not on this scale. Having the dogs in the hospital is costing $250 per day, per dog. Another reason to want them to come home. The brown pup has been there since last Thurs, Rocky and the black pup since Friday and that isn't including, Dega, Bristol and Rocky's trips prior. Regardless of the cost, we would do it again in a heartbeat. I just wish we were more sucessful with little Bristol. She is going to be missed more than you know. Rocky has the best friends in the world. I have never met more caring people. Thank you all again.
