Karmel. Male. 12 weeks old. 🐾

Karmel was pulled from the Pine Bluff Animal Shelter about seven days ago after receiving three combination vaccines.

Unfortunately, the shelter is one of those places where puppies are incredibly vulnerable to illness, even when we do our best to protect them and make sure they receive the necessary vaccines. This is why completing the full vaccine series for your puppies is so important!

Karmel was diagnosed with parvo 48 hours ago. He has already undergone 24 hours of hospitalization at the emergency clinic and will be staying there tonight.

Just this morning, 10/8, he had a feeding tube placed so that the veterinary team can provide him with the nourishment he needs and hopefully help ensure that his GI system continues to function normally.

Karmel has four other siblings. All of them received a very expensive monoclonal antibody injection for parvovirus in hopes that they will not develop the virus and, if they do, that their bodies will be better equipped to fight it.

Karmel also received the monoclonal antibody, but unfortunately, he still requires intensive supportive care.

Between the injections for all five puppies and our current estimate from the emergency clinic, we have already spent approximately $3,000.

We are asking for your help to continue giving Karmel the care he desperately needs. Every donation, no matter how small, will help us continue fighting for this sweet boy. ❤️

Please consider donating, sharing, or simply keeping Karmel in your thoughts. We are doing everything we can to give him the best chance at survival. 🐾❤️
