RuralPug Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 So sad...RIP little Fairy Hugs to you, Pomquest, you did everything in your power to save this little girl. Poms are so tiny - and baby Poms even more so, it would make sense that their system can access fluids given subcutaneously faster than if given intravenously. Would that be the reason that subQ is prefered over IV in hydrating sick kittens?? Does anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone know? Yes that is our understanding why with Poms. They have so little body fat to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pomquest Posted December 18, 2007 Author Share Posted December 18, 2007 Thanks to everyones commiserations Hopefully with what we have gone through in the last 3 weeks and what we have learned as a result then if we can save just one puppy in future than Fairy and Astros lives were not lost in vain.

vic2010 Posted December 19, 2007 Share Posted December 19, 2007 So sorry for your loss. Just a thought that popped into my head. Could it possibly be something related to the Equine Flu?????? Maybe a dog form of it or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a dog form of it or something. No, it was not related to EI. Possibly a mutant Parvo. The symptoms were quite different to the classic Parvo.
