On January 25, my husband and I chose a Giant Red Alaskan Malamute puppy from a litter born on Jan. 8, for my birthday gift. We went to Bangor and gave Patti and Kevin a cash deposit for the dog of $1000 to be sure she would be ours in March. Come March, the puppy (that will eventually be about 115 lbs.) was very small and very sick when Patti dropped her off to us.
Patti said the car ride was really hard on here, just give her plain yogurt and cottage cheese and she will be fine. This was a Sunday night, the car ride home was terrible, the first night was also terrible, very sick puppy. On Monday I called my local vet and she didn't think anything was really wrong, to just keep the appt. We had scheduled for Tuesday morning. She went to the vet, still sick, but doc wasn't very concerned (the puppy came from a reputal breeder).
On Wednesday night at 8:00 PM, Patti Schmersal called us and told us that another puppy in the litter had been diagnosed with Parvovirus.
