Ok, So I had my original dog, a mini pin mix, Scooter
and this past January my GF and I took in a rescue Italian Greyhound. My dog was healthy, immunized, and good to go.
The Greyhound was healthy, registered, and happy. But from piece of trash owners. AFAIK she was all up to date. Untill she went into heat in the spring like a month later. Well, needless to say, that proved she wasn't spayed, or immunized. She had puppies (my other dog was the dad, never thought about neutering him as I though SHE was fixed).
No big deal, til she had the puppies, nursed them, weaned them, and gave away nice healthy puppies a few weeks ago.
Today, the italian greyhound got sick and was diagnosed with Parvo. So the fxxxer PO not only lied about the spaying, also lied about the shots. I was going to get her shots once I foudn out she was pregnant, but we couldn't (per the vet) untill the puppies were weaned. As soon as that was over, this happens.
FWIW, all 3 puppies are still alive and well and with new owners, so she apprantly got this within the days the puppies left the nest thank God. They've all since been immunized to make doubly sure. Scooter, my other dog, is fine as well. We've updated the new puppy owners just to be honest with them though (they were given away, btw not sold).
But right now the Italian Greyhound is at the vet, in critical care, and hopefully gets well enough we can keep her around a few more years. She's only two. Scooter, my mutt, is sad his pal is gone. And I'm pretty shaken up that Lady is at the vet and I can't see or talk to her
Anyone have any happy endings?
