| Falco dies of parvo
I received an email today from the rescue I volunteer for...they were trying to get a two year old rotti, Falco, into their program. His owners had dumped him in a shelter...he became "depressed" and was moved to another shelter that works closely with my rescue. It was then discovered he had a severe case of parvo. Sadly Falco could not be saved. Falco had been up-to-date with all his innoculations...including all his puppy shots. Falco is a sad reminder that these shots do not always protect our breed. Hopefully his story will remind us that dogs we think are protected against this devasting disease can still die from it.
He was a sweet, lovely boy. |
