Little Foot Fighting the Parvo Virus



If you've been following this blog, you probably know that last week my husband and I rescued a maltipoo puppy that we have named Little Foot. In the few days since bringing him home, we've fallen head-over-heels in love with him. Recently, we noticed a sudden drop in his energy, lack of appetite, and that he had diarrhea. This got us worried so we took him to the pet hospital tonight. We were right to be worried. We were given the depressing news that Little Foot has contracted the Parvo virus, which is a very serious disease that attacks the lining of the digestive system and is especially dangerous for puppies. Without intense treatment, the victims of Parvo die of dehydration. Little Foot is currently in overnight hospital care. We are picking him up in the morning to transfer him over to another clinic for further treatment. Please keep him in your prayers.

If you can contribute something, anything, to help pay for his treatment, my family and I would be forever grateful.
