Suede was rushed to the hospital early Sunday morning and is in critical condition! We think this poor puppy has parvo virus, a deadly disease responsible for thousands of puppy deaths each year. Though there is no "cure," immediate supportive care gives puppies the best chance of fighting off the virus. Estimated cost to save Suede:$3,000-4000!!!

Suede's Story
Sued arrived on Saturday, June 15th with his three litter mates from a shelter in South Carolina.

| Suede, Scamp, Squint and Scooter |
These sweet Lab Mix babies are 9 weeks old and started their life where no puppy should have to, in a high kill shelter. Our South Carolina volunteers saved the puppies and quarantined them before transport, making sure they received the first two shots in their puppy shot series. While this is usually enough protection for puppies to be safe for travel, in Suede's case, it was not.

| Suede says "Hi!" to his foster mom at transport |
We know how delicate the immune systems of puppies are, and Suede was taken to the emergency hospital as soon as his foster noticed signs of sickness. Thanks to the quick response of Suede's foster mom, and the vet care he is receiving, we are optimistic that Suede appears to be on the mend. His litter mates will remain under close supervision, but also seem not to have caught the virus, thank goodness!
However, Suede will need to remain in the hospital for 3-4 more days before he can be released and placed into a new foster separate from his litter, and his emergency care bill is estimated to be anywhere from $3,000-$4,000!
We are so grateful to his foster and the medical team working with Suede on his recovery, but now we need YOUR help.

Don't worry Suede! Friendship Animal Hospital saved my puppy who had Parvo at 12 weeks of age. He is now a big 75 pound dog! and very healthy!
ReplyDeletePlease continue to keep us posted. My cousin recently went through delicately nursing her rescue (from the west coast) puppy back to health when he was diagnosed with Parvo. It's a terrible thing for these little ones to go through but here's to hoping and praying that Suede pulls through!
