All of us started off on a diet but within a few days we have all failed due to the left over choccies from Christmas! Update: All is fine with the bitch thou her pup who we castrated on the same day as the spay has since pulled a stitch out but is doing well!

Well my emergency case from yesterday made it through the night, had all the staff awake wondering how she was. (internal bleeding following a spay) This morning she is sitting up, wagging her tail. can't wait for her owner to get here and see her (just want to see her face light up).

We've never really tested for parvo because of the fact that they can give false positive results. We just go off clinical signs and say they have 'suspected parvo'. I know its not very scientific but the money that could be spent on a test is usually better spent on treatment.
We are fortunate that in 8 years I have only seen about 4 suspected cases of parvo, we dont have many clients who do not vaccinate.

We use the Idexx Snap test. Don't know enough about it to comment though - that would mean a lot of reading

it makes it all worth while to get a good result like this

just out of interest which parvo tests are people using these days - many of them show false positives - just something to be aware of

Awww lovely stories, cheered me up on a crazy weekend! Got four animals in when we don't generally admit animals at the weekend and got an exlap to do, one cat on oxygen, one to monitor and a dog with pancreatitis! Going to be getting some over time today!

We had a similar case to this last week. Four month old lurcher pup from a puppy farm. Picked up on the saturday already very skinny and brought into us in the monday and admitted with suspected parvo. By the wednesday he was looking absolutely awful, vet checked him at 10.30pm and was all ready to ring the owner and suggest pts. At this point the pup couldnt even stand up, was a bag of bones and groaned any time we touched him . Not sure why but the vet decided to give him until the morning. I was off then until this monday just gone and fully expeced to hear he nhad been euthanased. But no, he had gone home on the saturday broght eyed and waggy tailed. Coming on in leaps and bounds now, doing really well.

Im convinced that they hear you talking about pts and decide its not for them
