Heather Cook hasn't added a story.
Hi, I'm Heather. Two days ago my fiancé Shane brought home this cute, little terrier mixed puppy. He knew we could help get her back to excellent health and find her a loving and happy home if she didn't adapt well enough in our own. We immediately brought her to our vet to get her first puppy checkup. She was covered in fleas and ticks and tested positive for numerous intestinal parasites. After getting her first set of puppy vaccinations and some deworming medications, we brought her into our home to meet our other two dogs, Zoe and Brody. Deworming was a little rough on her because she had so many, but yesterday she was full of spunk and determined to play. She loved to chase Brody around the yard, but she was a bit distrusting of us humans leaving me to believe she has probably been mistreated for most of her young life. This morning, she was refusing to eat, but I was hoping it was just a side-effect of the deworming process. But this evening she was still refusing to eat and had very little energy. When she started vomiting, I knew something more serious was going on and immediately took her to the after hours emergency vet clinic hoping the whole way there it wouldn't be Parvo. Quickly, our worst fears were confirmed when the doc said it was Parvovirus, and our yet to be named puppy probably wouldn't survive...but there was still a chance. He said she has a 50-75% chance of beating this, but that fight would be very expensive. He estimated $600-$800 if she made it through the weekend, and could go as high as $1500 if she kept up the fight for days and days. And even after all of that, she still might not make it...but there was still that chance! And Shane and I could not say "no" to that chance no matter how much it costs. So we are reaching out to you: Friends, family, loved ones and other animal lovers out there that we don't even know! Please help us try to save Remy's life, yes we decided on a name. She has already attached herself into our lives and hearts, and even though we have only known her for these few days, we are already feeling the loss without her here. She deserves that chance to finally know what love is, and we need all the help you are willing to give. And even if you are unable to donate, please share Remy's story with others.
