I'm supposed to talk to my vet about what the plan is next week. My gut feeling is to wait for the 3 month mark for the distemper booster... maybe there is a parvo by itself?

Thanks...All the way from Lubbock, Texas.....thanks! Thanks so much for taking care of this little guy. I will never do anything but adopt, and shun those who only buy. I spend my free weekends from law school volunteering at all of the shelters here, and you wouldn't believe these dogs' stories! I love both of my adopted boys--1 I just adopted in April, and he is 11 and has been living in the shelter his whole life. He is the best dog ever! Mister Cooper will pull through......and Austin, Buddy, and I have Cooper in our thoughts and prayers.<br /><br />-Robyn, Austin (around 6 yrs old border collie mix), and Buddy (around 11 yrs old shep mix)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05491807231075007182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5933311283184337224.post-84824395330895761422009-09-30T20:42:45.442-05:002009-09-30T20:42:45.442-05:00Sending my positive thoughts to Cooper too.Sending my positive thoughts to Cooper too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5933311283184337224.post-75196989653163844482009-09-29T23:10:51.736-05:002009-09-29T23:10:51.736-05:00Not that this will make anything better, but I hav...Not that this will make anything better, but I have a similar situation. I took my 10 month old male in to a vet close to were I work to get neutered in which he needed a rabies shot. He's never been to any vet before. My pups live in the country with a 6 ft privacy fence. Well, before they got him to the scale, he bit two techs. They reported it and then he was quarentined in the Montgomery County Animal Shelter (Conroe)for 9 days. Sept. 3rd I picked him up, soaked in urine, lost half his weight, hair falling out and terrified. Sept 4th I took him to a vet I have used in the past for other dogs. I told them I thought he had distemper. I was assured it wasn't and they started him on antibiotics. Once a week he went to the vet as he would get better, than worse. He went through periods of fever and not eating. Finally on the 16th when I took him in sick still, they did a distemper test and the results were positive. Now, what I haven't said is that I have 4 other dogs and 4 pups born 8/10/09 in the same yard. I was told to bring the pups in for the distemper vaccine. I told them I couldn't afford to do that for the 4 of them after what I've spent for the first dog. So, I went to the feed store and bought 8 distemper vaccines at 6.50 each. It may be too late but I vaccinated one dog and 4 pups so far. So, you can only know I understand your ups and downs, not knowing what to expect or when and all the while hoping for the best. Since the last antibiotics, he has gained weight and is very active even though he is still coughing and sneezing. This week it's my mother dog with the gooey eyes, lack of movement, and labored breathing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
