Hi Scott! That's really sad. I really feel for you and if you want to e-mail me off-list then feel free. Hope Brandy makes it to the vets tomorrow.

She's going down hill by the hour here now. She should have bean vaccinated against it and that's why they ruled it out at first as they say they did it in feb. How ever if they did, it didn't work. It looks like it is what she's got and if she's alive in the morning she's going back and will probley stay in this time. But that's if we even get her that far as it's looking grim from where I'm sitting right now. Bugger. -----Original Message----- From: Claire Rush - Email Address: snout221b@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent On: 25/07/2010 12:58 Sent To: Scott C - Email Address: guide.chat@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [guide.chat] In Reply To: [guide.chat] parvo Hi Scott! Sorry to hear about Brandy. Parvo virus can be quite nasty - it's also very contagious so good thing you're separating your two dogs. It's most common in puppies because their immune systems aren't fully developed, but adult dogs can get it too - apparently black and tan dogs are more prone than others. If it turns out to be Parvo you might have to disinfect your entire home as the virus can linger in carpets etc. Usually in the yearly vaccinations they vaccinate against Parvo virus so Sam should have some immunity. I hope Brandy gets better and it's not what they think. Best of luck with it all.

Not shore on spelling but they think my dog may have it. She's very very ill and now as I say they think it maybe this. I've not really heard of it before, but she's one very unwell dog. It's brandy by the way not my guide one sam. She's at my mum and dads to keep her away from him for now till I know for shore what's wrong. hahahah £300 at the vets and counting. Ta Scott.
