Sick Puppy - Hepatitus/Distemper
by: Julie on Tue, Jun 24 2008

Nearly a week ago, I took home an adorable terrier mix girl (Finn) - less than a year old. She was a bit lethargic but I thought it may be all the change around her. 3 days later she was admitted to the hospital for pneumonia. Now released, she continues to be depressed and her appetite is sporadic. Yesterday, her left eye turned blue and I took her back to the vet. Now the diagnosis is potentially Hep or Dis. I’m so upset. Both these virus are incurable and I don’t know how she’s ever going to get better. I love her so much even though it’s only been a week and I’m devastated. Does anybody have any advice?
