I am a veterinary doctor, i worked inside Zoba vet clinic at dolphin estate ikoyi last week, i saw a boerboe puppy lying helplessly though beautiful but the stench from its anal region, its vomitus and watery brownish foul smelling diarrhoea already pointed its finger to the monster killer called parvo viral enteritis, a viral disease affecting dogs with 50-50 chances of survival. looking at the puppy...struggling to live but helpless made me feel bad, the owner crying yet believing that her dog will survive, the doctors were on their feet in the treatment room dripping the dog with series of intravenous fluid recommended for symptomatic therapy. i watched in earnest desire, i must say that i was satisfied with their procedures..but parvo is parvo. i comforted the owner then i left for my station. 5 days later i visited the clinic, surprisingly the puppy was alive, still being dripped because it was anorexic, but no more fluid loss, the fluid therapy served as food to the puppy..woow i left so happy...i was told the dog would be discharged in two days time...i went back there after two days because i wanted to see the owner...the joy i felt with her..the laughter..the joyful tears dripping down her chick..i must say..i felt that like no other. i saw other parvo cases brought to their clinic, i pray they survive too. i love vets, am a vet too, its not easy to handle parvo cases but we cant just let our dogs die, if we dont help them who will .Please my dear people, try to be upto date with your dogs vaccination schedule. help us and we will try our best
