Thanks for any help here. ************************** Could this be reactions to the shots? If so, maybe their immune systems are compromised. Fill them full or organic yogurt (tube feed if you have to,even though they're big), lactated ringers, vegetable broth liquid diet--no matter what it is, it needs to be flushed out of the system, but you need to replenish the water, sodium and potassium that has been lost. Try Gatorade for this. You can give activated charcoal, which will absorb toxins, drugs, poisons. Good luck. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Good ideas Penny. Someone suggested corona virus.....it can only kill if in conjunction with parvo at the same time, but surely can make them sick and if untreated, in a serious condition. I wondered about shots too. Perhaps a vaccinosis reaction. Try all of Penny's ideas and perhaps try Pedialyte instead of gatorade which replaces sodium quickly, but the Pedialyte is a little more broad spectrum. I would also try to get some Dyne or Stat into them quickly to help prevent breakdown of tissue.
