For those of you who saw my response last week on one of the "E" board threads and have been following along parvo puppy watch... I just wanted to give you an update.
The girls ATE all by themselves late Saturday. That is an enormous victory. Since then, they are eating full meals on their own every 3 hours, instead of being forcefed every 2 hours They are showing a major increases in energy. One of the girls is even chasing my rottweiler around the house. Still have runny poo.. but, no more vomiting. We are going to continue giving subq fluids for at least a few more days, but it seems as though we have turned the corner.
We are both very tired, but watching them eat by themselves gave us so much joy. We both burst into tears.
We finally gave them names after their first vet visit.. I went to the vet with "unknown" on the "name" section of their vet paperwork... and that just made me so sad. I couldn't let these little girls possibly die with no name.
So, with that said, please welcome Lola Marie and Gemma Jacqueline (yes, we are crazy and all of our pets have middle names)
