I rescued Matrix my black lab when he was 8 weeks old. Three days after I got him, I had to rush him to the vet as he had diarrhea with blood, felt really cold and could hardly get up. The vet did tests and came back with bad news that he had parvo. Well I asked how bad he was and he was on deaths door. The vet gave him medication and gave me some to give to him and he put a morphine patch on his tailbone for the pain and let me take him home. He told me to bring him back in five days to take the patch off but the way he said it he didn’t think he’d survive.
Put his crate in the living room by the couch. My golden retriever slept with his head in the crate and one of my cats slept with him in the crate. Well, five days later I took him back to the vet where he shocked everyone. He is a fighter but the best thing is he had no side effects.
This is my boy now at age 11.5 yrs old.
