I just _____ in the _____.

He's about 3 months old and is a solid black German Shepherd.

My parents took him to the vet this morning and he confirmed what I'd researched and suspected, something called Parvovirus. We're going to visit him tomorrow, poor little guy is kept with all the big animals rather than the dogs and cats because horses and cows can't get it.

We've only had him about a week, but jeez...

Ugh... parvo is a terrible, terrible disease and very difficult (and expensive) to cure. I wish the best of luck to you. Was this a purebred animal or a rescue? If you paid full price for a purebred animal you have every right to get your money back from that breeder, since parvo is highly infectious and had to come from one of their dogs.

Ouch... Parvo, huh? Yeah, that's rough. The neighbor's dog had Parvo, never really got cured of it fully. I have seen cases where the dog makes a full recovery, but at three months... I'm not so sure. I wish you the best of luck, Flex.

I don't think I'm going to be online much this weekend. I'm babysitting and I'm also on call to take my friend to the hospital. She just came back from Africa and we're positive she has a recurring form of malaria since the health center in Georgia SUCKS and didn't give her the medicine she needs to remove the parasites from her liver and bloodstream. Needless to say, I'm pissed that the stupid health system is dicking around with a disease that causes 3000 deaths A DAY. In fact, one of April's friends died three days ago from malaria.

I just spent 6 hours in the ER overnight, and when April checked in, the nurse thought you got malaria by drinking water and that it couldn't kill you. I wanted to strangle her.

WOW. The world never ceases to annoy me, Aiko. I feel for you and your friend, and I hope she gets better soon!

Ouch, that's sounds nasty. I've watched enough of House to know that some exotic parasites can be quite dangerous. I do hope your friends makes it through.

I'm currently changing my ISP, and my connection is going crazy. Dont expect any long posts from me until around the 28th, at least.

I really want to post people, but I probably won't be able to do anything until tomorrow night. The Georgia Wildlife Society is meeting here in Athens today and tomorrow, and I'm giving a 20 minute presentation on an aspect of my research. Plus, tonight I'm going to be talking to some boyscouts about Audubon, so I'm busier than heck.
