Puppy that died
Please tell me if we killed our puppy. She became very sick after having her for 4 days. she began vomitting. The vet said to treat her with different things and I took her to him 2 days later. I finally heard she might have parvovirus the day before she died. The place I bought her from says all the puppies are fine, none of them are sick. My question since we have 2 older dogs can they have given her the virus? Can the older dogs be carriers and have passed it on to the puppy? I don't think they have ever had shots for parvovirus. Or could she have come in contact with it where we walked her and became ill that fast? I have never heard of this virus and shouldn't my vet have checked her for it right away when she became ill? One site said to start treatment within 2 hours and we waited 2 days. PLease help I do not understand all this and does this mean I can not get another puppy? The vet did not test so we don't know for sure that is what she died from, he said we could do a tissue sample after she died but I was too upset. thank you. |

Cat losing hair with itchy skin
About a month ago my female neutered Siamese mix cat lost all the shine in her coat of long hair, and refuses to come into the house, preferring to remain in the garage. She is shedding her hair and it comes out in big clumps. The skin on her back near her tail is flaking off, like large dandruff, and the hairs have tiny black things on them near the base. This area is very itchy and when it is touched, she goes into an involuntary biting spasm. She also has small scabs on her skin spread all over her body. - Click
