I also started Bitsy on two different IV antibiotics, an IV anti-vomiting medication, an IV stomach acid reducer, and an oral medication for stomach ulcers. The in-house bloodwork showed that Bitsy’s white blood cells were almost completely obliterated by the parvovirus. White blood cells are essential to fight and overcome infections. Bitsy was in very critical condition. I was completely invested in doing my best to help Bitsy survive and recover from her disease.
On the second day of hospitalization, Bitsy’s blood potassium level started to drop below normal levels, so I had the nurses add potassium to Bitsy’s IV fluids. Bitsy’s blood glucose level remained within normal limits even though she was not eating, so I did not need to supplement her IV fluids with dextrose.
Each day of hospitalization, Bitsy’s white blood cell numbers continued to rise until they were up into the normal range. Bitsy continued to have a small amount of diarrhea but it was no longer bloody. By the second day, although Bitsy vomited a couple of times, the vomit no longer contained blood.
On the third day of hospitalization, after Bitsy had stopped vomiting and was much more bright and alert, I asked the nurses to offer her a small amount of water in a bowl and a small amount of a highly digestible, prescription canned dog food formulated for dogs with gastrointestinal disease. Bitsy lapped up a little bit of water but showed no interest in the food. Later in the day, however, Bitsy decided that the food looked pretty good and she ate all of it.
Bitsy’s appetite continued to improve until she had quite a healthy appetite. I had the nurses offer Bitsy a small amount of the gastrointestinal diet four times a day. Bitsy was acting playful and happy by midday on the third day of hospitalization. By the fourth day, Bitsy was getting into mischief and started trying to chew her IV catheter and the IV fluid line.
I sent Bitsy home with oral antibiotics, an oral stomach acid reducer, and an oral medication for stomach ulcers. I asked Steve to bring Bitsy back in for a recheck examination in two days so that we could make sure that everything was going well.
Parvovirus is a very serious disease that can be fatal. Puppies can die from parvovirus infection even with intensive treatment. I was very happy that Bitsy responded well to treatment and that she will go on to live a normal, happy life with her new pet parent. These are the moments that are so gratifying to me as a veterinarian and that make all the hard work worthwhile.
For more information about parvovirus infection in puppies, please read my post entitled Diarrhea In Dogs and Puppies: Causes and Treatment. For vaccination protocols designed to help prevent parvovirus in puppies, please read my post entitled Vaccinations For Dogs And Cats.
Sad article with a great outcome!! Thank you.
I am glad you enjoyed my post, Cara. I love happy endings too.
What a lovely story… I am so glad you were able to save little Bitsy, Rachele. It must be such a lovely part of your job, well done. I did not know that parvovirus could be so serious in animals.
Thank you, Ali. Parvovirus is a deadly disease which can be easily prevented by making sure that puppies get all of their puppy vaccinations in a timely manner starting at 8 weeks of age. I am very happy that I was able to save Bitsy.
Thank you for sharing your story Dr. Baker. It shows how critical vaccinations are and the need to find out your pet’s medical history.
You’re right, Dee. Vaccinations protect our pets from serious diseases, so it is very important to make sure that our pets get all of their vaccinations.
I love stories that end well! So glad you saved Bitsy! Years ago, we adopted a beautiful Vizsla puppy about 6 or 7 months old from the shelter. Within a week she was deathly ill with parvo, bad enough that I said my goodbyes and was totally devastated. She too was lucky enough to have a great vet to save her life, as Bitsy was lucky to have you..thank you for being there for these animals! This story reminded me of my dog Heather.
Thank you, Jeanne, for your kind words and for sharing your story about your puppy.
So many puppies succumb to parvovirus, it’s got to be an amazing feeling to save a life. I think I would have cried for joy when Bitsy started chewing on those IV tubes. Great job, Rachele and a good reminder to get those puppy vaccinations. Thanks for sharing Bitsy’s story.
Thank you, Elaine. It certainly made me, my staff, and Bitsy’s dad happy to see Bitsy acting like a normal healthy puppy again.
Parvo is sooo very sad! As a former shelter worker- I remember how absolutely devastating it was when we received a litter of puppies with parvo. Thanks for sharing Bitsy’s story!
I’m glad you enjoyed Bitsy’s story, Kaitlin. Thanks for sharing your experience with parvo working in a shelter.
I’m glad you were able to help this puppy. Many years ago I rescued a puppy who was wandering on the street and two days later he came down with Parvo. My husband and I waited 24 nerve wrecking hours to hear the outcome from our veterinarian. Little Harry pulled through, but had some residual effects that lasted throughout his life. He was a great dog!
Thanks for sharing your experience with your dog Harry, Sharon. I’m glad that he pulled through and got to enjoy life with a loving family.
After encouraging wins over France and Serbia in their first two games in Group A, Australia faces a familiar foe on Thursday morning (AEST).
The win over Serbia meant the Boomers clinched their first 2-0 start in Olympic history, and now meet the undefeated and seemingly unbeatable USA juggernaut.
That meeting, however, won't faze Andrew Bogut and his comrades.
With five members of the Boomers squad plying their trade in the NBA, and a couple of others with previous experience in the Association, this Australian squad fears no one.
"Teams who ask the Americans to autograph their shoes are beaten before the game begins," Bogut told reporters, just after their 95-80 victory over Serbia.
"But that's not us and we think we can win."
In the lead up to Rio, the message coming out of the Boomers' camp was simple: They believe they can win gold.
"ESET researchers have been tracking the TDL4 botnet for a long time, and now we have noticed a new phase in its evolution," announced David Harley, the company's director of malware intelligence.
"Based on the analysis of its components we can say that some of those components have been rewritten from scratch (kernel-mode driver, user-mode payload) while some (specifically, some bootkit components) remain the same as in the previous versions," he noted.
TDL, also known as TDSS, is a family of rootkits characterised by complex and innovative detection evasion techniques. Back in July, malware analysts from Kaspersky Lab called TDL version 4 the most sophisticated threat in the world and estimated that the number of computers infected with it exceeds 4.5 million.
However, according to ESET's researchers, changes are now being made to the way TDL4 infects systems and ensures its hold on them. Instead of storing components within the MBR, the new variants create a hidden partition at the end of the hard disk and set it as active.
This ensures that malicious code stored on it, including a special boot loader, gets executed before the actual operating system, and that the MBR code checked by antivirus programs for unauthorised modifications remains untouched.
"The malware is able to detect corruption of the files stored in the hidden file system by calculating its CRC32 checksum and comparing it with the value stored in the file header. In the event that a file is corrupted it is removed from the file system," the ESET researchers explain.
In April, Microsoft released a Windows update that modified systems to disrupt the TDL4 infection cycle. The rootkit's authors responded half a month later with an update of their own that bypassed the patch.
Several antivirus vendors like Kaspersky, BitDefender or AVAST, offer free stand-alone tools that can remove TDSS and similar rootkits. However, in order to avoid getting infected in the first place users should install an antivirus solution that provides advanced layers of protection, like those analysing software behavior.
Robert Kubica broke his right leg in a spectacular crash Sunday near the midway point of the Canadian Grand Prix.
Kubica, a rising star of Formula One, was racing with the Toyota of Jarno Trulli and the Ferrari of Felipe Massa when he suddenly veered off course into the grass as they drove toward the hairpin.
Kubica's BMW Sauber slammed hard into the inside concrete wall, somersaulted across the track in a shower of debris, hit the outside wall and came to rest with what was left of his car on its side.
Medical personnel removed Kubica from the car and took him to the track medical facility before transferring him by helicopter to a Montreal hospital. Team officials said Kubica never lost consciousness.

The experience gained in the luxury market during almost ten years allows Maresca to launch a new ambitious project: the creation of Chiara Bellini luxury footwear brand.
The brand name is a tribute to Chiara Bellini, Technical Designer of the company and Giovanni Bellini's daughter - Mr Giovanni Bellini is the Chief Executive of Maresca, he manages the company together with his brother (and partner) Armando and his three children: Lorenzo, Michele and the aforementioned daughter Chiara. The choice of brand name Chiara Bellini brings to mind the Italian character of a 100% Made in Italy product.
The Chiara Bellini Brand is destined to the medium to high-end and luxury markets, and makes his debut with a bona fide collection for the Spring Summer 2015 collection, after a first trial run in the Russian market in 2013.
“The Chiara Bellini product”, - Chiara tells us, “- is a very meticulous product from a stylistic point of view and in its details, characterized by a combination of PVC with other materials, like leather and metallic accessories. The footwear line is completed by original ‘ball-shaped’ and ‘city’ bags, which are once again made of coloured PVC. Young women and men, who love to play and be daring with fashion, are the main targets of this line, but in the collection there are also products aimed at a certain ‘continuity’. These products are meant to be worn every day, either at the seaside or in the city, and are fashion products that are very far from the classic rain boot or beach sandal proposal”.
Ethereum Classic is a smart contract platform and ecosystem for decentralized applications and distributed computing. It was born due to a chain split on the original Ethereum blockchain. When the DAO-hack occurred, where 3.6m Ether was stolen, the Ethereum community discussed what to do.
Can Ethereum Classic be mined?
What differs Ethereum Classic from other Cryptocurrencies?
How much is Ethereum Classic worth today?
Where can you buy ETC?
Can ETC be sold for cash?
The majority favored a hard fork with the purpose of rendering the stolen Ether useless, but a small minority was strictly against it. They stated that “code is law” and it would be against the spirit of decentralized systems to “turn back time” and reverse the blockchain with the help of a 51% majority.
The hard fork happened, and Ethereum abandoned the old chain. The small minority forked off of the new Ethereum and decided to continue developing the old chain. This old chain is now known as Ethereum Classic; the ticker is ETC.
In July 2016, more specifically at block 1 920 000, the hard fork was executed. After the fork, the chains were split in two and since then act individually. Ethereum Classic became a parallel blockchain, where in contrast to Ethereum the stolen funds were never returned to their owners.
Yes, it is based on Proof-of-Work (PoW). The mining algorithm is Ethash, which is a modified version of the Dagger-Hashimoto algorithm.
The main points that differ Ethereum Classic from his bigger counterpart are that its maximum supply is capped and that they don’t have the massive resources and industry support like their bigger brother.
The maximum supply of ETC is 230 000 000 and the circulating supply at the time of writing is 101 442 324 ETC.
You can buy ETC on several cryptocurrency exchanges, most notably Bithump, Binance, Upbit, Huobi, and OKEx.
You can sell ETC for cash on several cryptocurrency exchanges that have fiat-pairings, most notably Bithump and Bitfinex.
The ETC team is actively working on further development and scalability of their platform.
Also, they are focussed on finding ways to integrate Ethereum Classic in the growing sector of the Internet of Things. Additionally, they work on the “Emerald Platform,” which is a set of libraries and tools for third-party application developers.
5.5/10 What I like is that ETC capped their maximum supply, this creates SoV-characteristics. The downside is that ETH has far more resources, industry contacts, and partnerships than Ethereum Classic. This could lead to ETC being tailed off.
Another negative is that the stolen coins from the DAO-hack are still accessible for the hacker on the ETH chain. He currently holds 3.36 million ETC. The Ethereum foundation is also in possession of a massive amount of ETC, although they liquidated 90% of their position which they acquired through the hard fork. But there 10% is still a big enough number to move the market.
