I'd written previously requesting tea recipe for our pup dx'd with parvo. Your advice was to follow our vets advice/orders. Touch wood! - I'm happy to be able to say that our pup is on the mend. It's been a battle, but -- finally --he's eating. He's still refusing dog food given to us by vet; he ate some chicken noodle soup today. The poor little fella has lost weight, but it'll come back. He's up, wagging his tail and following us everywhere. We have decided that we'll know he's 100% well when he barks. Also wonder why we ever complained about his barking at night -- right now it'd be music to us! Thank you again!IP: Logged
