I have a red Doberman puppy with parvo
I have a puppy with parvo. She is a red Doberman Pinscher named Ruby. She first got the virus when she was 8 weeks old. She was in the hospital for 3 days. I got to take her home just this past Wednesday. She did great! She was eating normal, pooping normal, and had a high energy level. She was running and playing with my 16 week old rottweiler (who has never had any health problems). Then out of nowhere, late Friday night, she started vomiting numerous times. She couldn't even hold down water. I took her back to the hospital on Saturday morning (she's now 9 weeks old) and they at first thought it was an intussusception. They gave her barium and turns out that's not what it was. Then they said they really didn't know what it was and that it may be a bacterial infection. So they decided to treat her as a relapse of parvo. Does this sound right? She did so well for 3 days as if nothing ever happened. Could it be something else? If it is a relapse, what are her odds? The doctors don't seem too worried but they have many animals to look after. If she gets through this, will I end up back at the hospital with another relapse? Lastly what measures can I take to ensure she stays healthy when we get home while her immune system builds up? Any advice would be helpful. Thank you!
