Zoey is supposed to come back Sunday. I don't have a final word on this, but that was the plan if she is progressing well.
Sally however has had some diarrhea since Zoey left. This is concerning. Sally is about 11 mos old, an older pup, but still a puppy.
I am not sure exactly why she is not feeling up to par.
Is it because I have given her extra attention, petting, bringing her into the TV room?
Is it because she just isn't hardwired for affection, and the sudden attention has stressed her out?
Is it because I changed her food last week using a few high end samples from the pet store and then puppy chow Zoey was eating?
Is it because I was challenging her to not be so fearful, chasing her around the yard some to break out of the patterns she so ardently clings to?
All of the above?
None of the above?
Should Zoey come over if Sally has Parvo?
Rescue dogs have their risks over breeders. There are many unknowns to juggle. Zoey also has a skin condition due to malnutrition before she was rescued. That took a far step backward when the Parvo test came back positive.
