RIP Marlow.

This afternoon after a long battle with Parvo, which had emaciated our puppy into a lifeless shell, we decided to end Marlow’s suffering. It was horribly apparent he was not going to recover and was not responding to virtually any stimulus. Apparently the entire litter of 10 puppies have all died as well. This has been one of the worst experiences to have had to witness. My heartfelt appreciation goes out to the Emergency Vet staff in Brampton who showed me the difference between doing a job, loving a job and doing a job with love. You are truly special people.

Foremost I want to thank B. who has spearheaded every attempt to save Marlow. It was clearly not meant to be. We will return to this one day and enjoy the companionship of a dog.

Parvo Day 6

The last 48 hours has been a horrible rollercoaster of emotions with Marlow… one thing improves, another gets worse, he doesn’t vomit, then he does… ultimately however, he doesn’t appear to be responding to the medication. He is vomiting more often and things are not looking good at this time. There is more to this sad tale but I don’t have it in me right now to relate it all. We need a miracle now I’m afraid. 😦
