we have 2 pyr pups, they are 5 months old. henry and luna. they have received no shots at all, not really on purpose but because so much has been going on for us we havent brought them in yet.
we had been thinking about worming the pups because we never had and it occurred to us. we were busy this weekend and didnt get the wormer (we were thinking about using Ivomec, but didnt have it on hand because we use cydectin for our cows)
this morning i went out to milk and couldnt find Luna. when i did find her, she was laying so still i thought she was dead. but she wagged her tail and looked at me, unable to stand. she has clear, bubbly mucous on her mouth and doesnt seem able/ willing to eat or drink. my preliminary research says parvo.
here is where the dont flame me part comes in. we cannot treat them, i called 2 vets and we dont have the money. if i can get them through this, we will be getting them their shots, but the vet said Henry will die, too if she has Parvo, and it is likely too late to stop the spread.
is there anything else this could be?
another dont flame me: i found aboriginal community recommendations for the use of Cydectin pouron in dogs. so i followed it and treated both dogs today with Cydectin according to their weight. of course there is the risk of the toxic nature of such treatment weakening Luna, but if she has worms they are weakening her too. it is done, please dont make me feel badly about it.
i also syringe fed Luna about a cup of warm raw milk. she swallowed it, but wasnt opening her mouth to take it. it was weird.
thank you for your help. i love these dogs.
