Totally devistated and feeling a little lost.
A huge Thank you for those that have donated so far. Juniper was brought to the vet yesterday for cremation. Now to get Cora and Rex to the vet to be tested and Re-vaccinated or boosted whatever it is called. And to completely decontaminate the house so they aren’t stuck in the bedrooms and crate if we cannot be home. This is all to protect the other two babies in our home. If you own pets please be responsible and have them vaccinated and if and I’m hoping it never happens to anyone else your dog does contract parvo or is a carrier without the sickness please keep your dog home, do not go out and infect areas where other dogs may become infected, and do not allow people with pets to come to your house where they could bring it home to their dogs. This virus is apparently more contagious than Covid and lives a lot longer in the environment. Without treatment of my yard, Parvovirus can survive and infect dogs up to a year later. Birds and squirrels and spread the virus if they land in my yards and become contaminated. The virus won’t hurt them but they can spread it to other dogs who will suffer just like our Juniper did. As a pet owner please look into the first warning signs of Parvo, immediate treatment is essential in saving your pet. The incubation time is only 5-7days and can kill in 48-72 hours after symptoms start it left untreated. By the time we caught it, the virus had completely destroyed her immune system and the medications did not have time to work. Juniper was loved and will be missed heavily.
Any and all help is appreciated more than ever and we Thank each and everyone who is able to donate. Link to fundraiser is in my bio. Keep your babies safe!

When a pet passes away, it can leave a profound sense of loss and devastation. The parvovirus is a serious threat to dog health, often overlooked by pet owners. It's vital to recognize the symptoms early, as they can escalate rapidly. Symptoms include lethargy, loss of appetite, and severe gastrointestinal distress, which can lead to dehydration and other complications. Immediate veterinary care is essential to give your pet the best chance of recovery. Protecting your pets from parvovirus is not only about vaccination but also controlling their environment. Regularly disinfecting areas where your pets roam and being cautious about exposing them to potentially infected areas is critical to their health. Remember, even animal visitors can spread the virus, so keep an eye on your furry friends’ interactions. Reach out to local veterinary services or support groups if you find yourself overwhelmed by pet loss or needing advice. Your community can be a valuable resource in navigating these tough times. Your pets rely on you for protection; ensure you're informed and prepared to keep them safe. As we cherish the memory of our pets, let us ensure that their loss inspires responsible pet ownership in others, to prevent similar heartaches in the future.
