Gaia, the newest addition to the farm is one sick puppy. She has Canine Parvovirus a highly contagious virus that gets transmitted through direct and indirect involvement with the affected dog's feces. A dog that has Parvo will become lethargic, lose their appetite and have diarrhea and vomiting. They become dehydrated and are often hospitalized for a few days to monitor the dog. Gaia is currently at the vet and will be there another couple of days. Pray for little Gaia, she does have a 70% rate of survival.
Ellie, the other new dog on the mountain, adopted by our neighbor Cheryl, will be going to the vet today to be tested for Parvo since she was adopted at the same shelter as Gaia and only a week or two apart. Hope she is okay.
