Puppy? Parvo?
The problem with little ones is their bodies just don't have enough reserves to help them fight off health issues and when things start going wrong, they *get* there in a very fast way and it is difficult to slow that downhill, runaway train. Their best chance for survival is immediate intervention at the very first sign of trouble, before the train is able to build up speed and get out of control.

[quote="slaneyrose"]Actually, a dogs temperature should be 101.5 so his temp is very low. You didnt say what age he is? Your neighbours may be able to help him if they get his temp up with a heat lamp or heat pad. Hope to hear good news soon.[/quote]
Yes, Kim that was the point, he was too cold. ;)
Re: dog related!
Oi, forgot about this thread.
The pup in question actually died a day or so later. Then a few weeks later they took the other 2 surviving pups to the shelter (the no-kill one). Now they have moved away and have left us with their unaltered, never been given a shot in his life, fat, ugly, cat. That I hate. But now must learn to tolerate...
RIP little ones, sorry your owners were ignorant and you didn't get a chance at life. :BH
Re: dog related!
just off the top of my head anemia from worms or parasites, if he was super infested he would be anemic to a critical point, we would often give raw calf liver or lixatonic to ones we got in AC that were infested with worms and fleas, super pale gums ...with a temp that low he isnt long for the world if not helped out quickly.
