    Dookie almost got stolen

    Hello all, I live in Santa Ana, CA. Many years ago this part of my neighborhood used to full of gang bangers and such. Lately crime has been cut down to almost zero, but there still tends to be a bit of lingering from the gang bangers, rare but it happens. My neighbors dogs got stolen, they...

    Crooked ear

    Hi everyone, Some one told me that cutting Dookies ears would make him look nicer. But I couldn't imagine doing that to a dog. Anywho, one of dookie's ears is a bit slanted to the middle. I remember someone saying that there is a method of taping the ears up or something... thanks.

    Reverse sneezing?

    Dookie gets it whenever he just finishes eating or mainly drinking. It's like he's hiccuping or something. But I don't have an answer to your question, so i'd like to know as well.

    what would you do? vet costs...

    We just spent 2,700 dollars on Dookie for him to get over parvo. It had to be done because he was a part of the family. This was a life and death situation so we honestly had no decision. But as far as tooth work, I don't see how that could be so high. That much would pay for one night at a...

    dookie got parvo

    Much more energy, today at 5AM when I fed him he put up a little fight. He has not thrown up ANY food (thank god). No more large amounts of diahrea. Each day there's a small sign, better a small sign than nothing.

    dookie got parvo

    Thanks guys. Just finished giving him his IV. He urined and it came out a bit dark, thus giving him his IV a bit early. Giving him small amounts of liquid diet and more of home made chicken broth (my aunts a nurse in mexico and she recommended it, she's even used it on many or her dogs) and it...

    thanks. I have been told many times about bleach solutions so I knew it would have to be done. But it's a small sacfrifice to keep my dog alive and healthy. Thanks again for your prayers and support.

    dookie got parvo

    It's looking very promising. He's up, trying to get out of the isolated area we have him in. One time he actually made it out and walked into my room. Still a bit groggy, a bit of the runs. But compared to the way we brought him home, he looks and i hope he's on his way to a full recover. Just...

    dookie got parvo

    Thank you all for your advice and for hoping he get's through it. Today, he ate a bit of liquid diet and has yet to throw up. Also, he has become more sensative to the injections, he never used to whimper, showing me that he is strong enough to whimper now.

    dookie got parvo

    okay, today he is ok, a bit more alert. During the night he had one case or diahrea, and didn't take good to the liquid diet so i lowered the intake. and after the initial bowl movement it seemed like he was discharging small "doses" of diahrea along with some gas. is this a sign of recovery or...
