Choo and Choo too

A black dog, named Choo arrived at the shelter 2 days before the clinic started. He was a very nice juvenile dog who was surrendered, and had not been neutered and had no immunizations. We gladly took Choo and planned on getting him neutered and get his shots at the upcoming clinic.

CHOOWell- poor Choo was ill the morning I loaded him to go to the clinic. By time the vet got to him in the lineup, he clearly was not well. He was tested for parvo and was positive. He began his battle against this sickness and was placed in an isolation area. Colleen and Carol walked him and kept an eye on poor Choo.

The same day- a small black pup came in to the clinic and was also sick. He was tested and also had the virus. So both of the boys were in the isolation area and we all hoped they would make it. The vets did feeding of water under their skin each day to prevent dehydration.

CHOO TOOWe are sad to report that Choo did not overcome the virus, but happy because the little black pup did. I named him Choo Too. He is now at the uphouse at the shelter. He is a very wonderful pup and he is eating normally, putting on weight, and I will have him tested and almost certain he will test negative this week.

I wanted you all to know that Choo Too survived and has hope for a good life.

Thank you Carol, Colleen and vets for your support for these two little ones.
