This is in memory of my 3 month old puppy, Koda. He was the most adorable little boy ever. My boyfriend's dog had puppies and he decided to keep one. Soon after, he became mine to. I offered to buy him things and take care of him. He was my baby. One day, tragedy struck. He became very sick. He would no longer eat or drink. He would just lay there. I came over immediately and he drank the water I gave him and I tried to spoon feed him some plain food that I had bought for him, but he wouldn't eat it. I sat with him that whole night, telling myself over and over that tomorrow when we bring him in to the doctor, they will say that he will be okay. It didn't turn out that way. He had been diagnosed with Canine Parvovirus and had to be put to sleep at only 3 months old. This was just 2 months ago and I still miss him terribly. I have his collar in my dresser drawer and his dog tag on my keychain. It's hard to go on some days without my little baby by my side. I miss him so much.

Loving my beautiful baby girl
I'm so incredibly sorry you lost your little puppy. He was taken from you at such a young age, how very sad.
Koda is full of health and joy now in Heaven waiting for the day the two of you are reunited!

O I am soo sorry for your loss
RIP Koda

I lost 2 pups to parvo in 03. Peanut was my baby girl (gsd) i had her about 3 months-then we got Onyx (rott) Onyx became very ill rapidly only about 1 week after we got him. We spent a LOT of money giving him treatments that were'nt guarenteed to work, we wound up losing him on the third day
Peanut was a bit older, and the vet gave her a good prog. but she too turned for the worse, and I could'nt bear myself to see her in pain anymore, let alone get to the condition that Onyx had reached. I had to make the most awful decision any pet owner would have to make twice in one day. It was one of the most painful lessons I ever learned: make sure to keep your pets (especially puppys and kittens) up to date on shots. It sounds so simple now, if only I knew the devastation of parvo beforehand.

It had been 3 years for me, and I think about them all the time- The guilt in my heart for letting them down still tears me up. I just wanted you to know that you are not alone, its ok to miss him. Parvo is a nasty, nasty disease that I never ever want to deal with again in my life. I'm soo sorry you lost your baby- Koda, Peanut, and Onyx are running happily over RB playing in the sunshine-we will see them again one day, kaluvmc

Yes, I understand your guilt. I feel it to because I wish I would've brought him in sooner, even though they say it wouldn't have mattered. Thank you everyone from the sympothy, it means a lot.

Parvo strikes soo quickly- I had mine at the vet the second they acted ill, like i said I went through the treatments 3 for Onyx 1 for Peanut, and still lost them both. I do appreciate the vets honesty though, for telling me that the treatments probably won't work
Parvo sucks!!!!!!!!! I'm just soo glad our baby puppies are'nt suffering anymore. RIP sweet angels, we love you!

I'm so sorry you lost Koda, and I know how it hurts.


Rest in peace, Koda. You'll be forever young at the bridge.
