We bought a little Cocker Spaniel puppy and have called him Henry and he’s the sweetest little thing.

Unfortunately, Monday night he was really ill and we took him to the vets on Monday morning and he has been diagnosed as having parvo. We’re currently spending the days with him at the vets, then we’re picking him up and trying to nurse him through the night before taking him back again in the morning.

Tomorrow will be day 3 of having the symptoms so hopefully he can pull through and start to get better but he’s so tiny I don’t know how much strength he has.

It’s so frustrating that the insurance won’t cover this as it happened within 48 hours of us getting him as we’re already £560 down on vet bills, then there’s the insurance cost (which isn’t covering this anyway) and the initial outlay we had to pay for him too so we’ve been absolutely rinsed recently. It’s horrible that him surviving this could come down to us just running out of funding for him but I’m going to give him as much as I can do as it’s so heartbreaking.

Has anyone had a dog that’s had parvo before and come out of it the other side? I need a happy success story I think.

They’ve said they can keep trying different options, but it’s unlikely that it’s going to increase his chances of survival and just means throwing more money at him for the same inevitable outcome.
