Wow, I haven't checked the NG in a couple of days and have 211 new messages!! Forgive me, but I will not be reading them all for a while. Sadly, one of our furbabies is very ill. Toby, our youngest (5mths) is in hospital with parvovirus. It is really quite distressing, and I am so upset about it.



We have 2 other dogs at home too, so we're hoping that they stay healthy.



I have to bleach everything from the front fence to the light fittings inside the house!! I'm going to be busy cleaning everything for the next few days. Please say some prayers for my darling little pooch, I don't know what I'd do if I lost him. We're still grieving over our dear cat that went over the Rainbow Bridge in July last year!! Toby has to stay in hospital, on a drip for the next few days, and just wait and see if he will pull through. There is no cure for parvo, the vet says they will just treat his symptoms as they arise. Please God let him make it!~



luv Cec...xxx


I am so sorry to hear this Cec! I know from experience how devastating it is when one of our furbabies gets sick. I hope that Toby gets better really soon. All the cleaning must be a pain as well expecially as you must thinking of the reason you are cleaning as you are doing it.

OH Cec, I can not imagine all that cleaning!! Just make sure you wear protective clothing. I had to do that with rabbit pens a few years ago.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and yours as FURBABIES are family too and a blessing from God.

Cec, I'm so sorry to hear about Toby. I'm praying that he will make a full recovery. Please be careful when you are cleaning.

I'm so sorry about your furbabie. We get so attached don't we? Prayers for all concerned! Barb:o)

Awww...poor Toby. Let us know how things go. *big hugs*

Prayers being said for your little wooly!

Hugs, Lynne

I know how destressing it is when a furbaby is sickly. I will say prayers that Toby gets better.

Thank you to everyone for your kind words, thoughts and prayers. It really means so much to know that there is a group of so many supportive and wonderful people all around the world praying for my little furbaby. I spoke to the vet this morning, and Toby is still on a drip for rehydration, he is still not able to stand for very long (he can't hold himself up) and he is not keeping any food down at all. The vet said he was quite sick thru the night and basically we just have to let the virus run it's course. I asked if he thought I should be preparing for the worst, he said, "I think he will make it, we just need to stay on top of things". Well, let me tell you, I really needed to hear the vet say those few words, I'm really stressed out (I think all this bleach has gone to my head!!) Patience is something I can do, I don't care how long it takes, or how much $$ it costs, I just want my baby to be ok. It's hard for DFS to understand the situation too, he keeps asking me if Toby will die, and I've said I don't know cos I didn't want to lie to him. He has been very difficult lately too, but I know that sadness effects people differently. Hopefully he has a better day today. Thanks again, EVERYONE. I will keep you informed of any new developments. much love, Cec...xxx

My thoughts are with you and your furbabies, especially the little one. Sounds like there is much hope for him.

Cec, My thoughts and prayers are going out to you. I know how hurtful it is to have a sick furbaby and to lose it ,too. so I will be hoping for the fast recovery.

Hugs, Sabrina

I am slowly getting through all of the posts.... but here is an update on Toby, he is improving slightly, is still on a drip in the hospital, and has only just started to take small amounts of food. He is wagging his tail now though, which is a good sign. I'm a lot more positive now though, seen as though he has made it thus far, that's a really good sign. The vet said that the first few days were the vital ones, and he also said that because Toby was a good size with a healthy weight definately worked in his favour. He still has a way to go yet, but at least things are more likely to work out ok. I can't wait to see him and cuddle him... it's so sad having him in isolation and we can't even see him. I'm so used to seeing him each day and having him jump up on my lap for cuddles, it's lonely without him. The other dogs are really missing him too.

The vet is looking at home by the weekend, I'm hoping that is the case. I'll keep you posted. luv Cec...xxx

Good news, Cec! TIgger & I are still sending healing thoughts Toby's way.

Alicia

Glad he is doing a bit better. It's a terrible virus and takes a long time to recover. Still saying little prayers for your baby Toby.

Glad to hear he is doing better. I still have him in my thoughts.
