Save Luna to cure Parvoviral Infection

             A close friend’s 6-week old Cocker Spaniel puppy, Luna, has been diagnosed with parvovirus, a deadly canine virus that is known to affect dogs under 6 months old.  The virus is destroying her intestinal walls and lining, making it impossible for poor Luna to digest any food.  Her tiny body is dehydrated to dangerously low levels, and blood has been found in her vomit and excrement.  Because this virus is highly contagious and kills many dogs every year, Luna must also be kept in isolation from other animals.

Meet Luna!

Parvovirus is highly aggressive and deadly if not treated quickly, so time is of the essence. The veterinarian has prescribed treatments totaling $8,000 to save Luna’s life. These include round-the-clock IV fluid infusions, restorative nutrition treatments, palliative therapies, sedation, and antibiotics. The necessity to keep Luna isolated during her care is also very expensive.

Luna is fighting for her life right now, and she needs our help.

            Luna really is the sweetest little puppy. When she’s healthy, she’s so exuberant and full of energy, just the friskiest little furball you’ve ever seen — playful, energetic, and friendly. 

What is Parvovirus Infection: 

     The canine parvovirus (CPV) infection is a highly contagious viral illness that affects dogs. The virus manifests itself in two different forms. The more common form is the intestinal form, which is characterized by vomiting, diarrhea, weight loss, and lack of appetite (anorexia). The less common form is the cardiac form, which attacks the heart muscles of very young puppies, often leading to death. The majority of cases are seen in puppies that are between six weeks and six months old. The incidence of canine parvovirus infections has been reduced radically by early vaccination in young puppies.
