Back to the vet tomorrow morning. She has become so much weaker since she was last at the vet 2 days ago, that we need to insist this time that something more positive is done to help her.

She is having more blood tests in the morning, so we will wait and see what the results are. Frankly even bad news would be better than feeling like we are waiting for her to die and feeling helpless.

We took care of her and after 1 month, she almost recovered and turned into a healthy, playful puppy...gained weight & ate a lot. Suddenly, at that seems like Pippa, she got very weak, from one day to another she stopped playing, stayed in her bad and after that she didn't want to stand up anymore. The doctor first said, she had a blood infection because of the many parasites she carried around before. After antbiotic treatment she got better. 3 weeks later, the same story happened, LOLA couldn`t get up anymore. Now we figured out it could be ERLICHIOSIS or DISTEMPER. To figure out the vet. has to do a ELISA TEST & a IMUNOFLOURESENCIA (=in spanish) for the DISTEMPER. The vet told me this illnes is not very common, but treatable. It's a 21day treatment with antibiotics and steroids. I hope, this information can help somehow, I really wish al the best for little PIPPA, saludos Sandra. Hello,

Is she pooping and peeing? I know she's not eating so maybe not going to the bathroom. She's not dehydrated or anything? Can your vet test for Lupus or Lyme Disease? Not sure if you guys have Lyme down there yet. (Tick borne illness). Has this pup been tested for Ehrlychiosis? Could she have ingested something that could be causing her distress?
