Sad update

I know a lot of you have seen that we finally added a puppy to our family. Things started out great but quickly changed for the worst. We never thought this would happen but there we sat on Sunday having to decide whether or not to put our new baby Kalmia down to rest.

When we bought him he was perfectly healthy and was doing great but before they let us leave with him they did us a favor of giving him his next shot that was supposed to prevent Parvo-virus. Unfortunately instead of preventing it, it gave him the virus.

When he was first having issues with diarrhea & eventually throwing up, we read that a lot of puppies do that when they are adjusting to new foods and environment so we didn't worry too much and tried to help his diet. Things were still getting worse. We had a free vet visit on Monday and were trying to wait. Finally Sunday morning after phoning an urgent care they were suggesting he might have parvo. I cried and cried knowing this couldn't be good and just knowing he definitely had all the symptoms so we took him there. After testing him it back positive and we were looking at spending $5000 for hospitalization treatment that was only a 50/50 chance of him surviving OR putting him down.

We didn't want to make the decision without talking to the place where we got him but we also didn't want him to wait any longer in such great pain. We were lucky enough to hear from them and they decided to buy him back and give him treatments so that we wouldn't have to pay for it. And if he survives and get him back to being strong, we will buy him back.

We are currently waiting for an update on him but we are really hoping to get Kalmia back. Please pray for him and us. We only had him for about 3 days but we were already attached. He was our perfect unique dream dog.

When we hear an update I will update this post & reshare. I didn't wanna share because it's really sad but we are lucky enough to have a lot of friends that are asking because yall care.. so thank you for that.


**UPDATE:

After a lot of red flags & because of the review we read and the things we've heard we figured we would not have good news but actually hearing the words come out of the mans mouth hurt so bad today. Our little pup, Kalmia did not make it. We are incredibly sad especially when we're not positive that they tried everything they could. Again like I said, we just felt like he was a perfect unique fit to our family. He was already learning so quickly.

(side note: i'm not trying to be dramatic & get attention but a lot of people keep asking & it's easier on my heart to just telling everyone at once in one post instead of telling it over and over again.)
