Austin Pets Alive<\/a>, it was discovered that Mrs. Greg had severe sarcoptic mange. She also tested positive for parvovirus. Canine parvovirus (CPV) is a highly contagious viral disease of dogs that often causes acute gastrointestinal illness. When dogs are affected by this disease, especially ones that are already thin and sick, things can go really wrong.<\/p>\nThe prognosis usually looks far from good \u2013 but Mrs. Greg would prove to be a true fighter.<\/p>\n
Instead, it was the mange that created the most problems for the poor dog. It took a long time before Mrs. Greg could recover, and for a while, it seemed like her fur would never grow back. The staff at Austin Pets Alive realized that this was a big problem \u2013 partly for Mrs. Greg\u2019s health, partly because it would probably make adoption impossible in the future.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, a woman named Olivia reached out. She wanted to adopt Mrs. Greg no matter what \u2013 and she also chose to rename the dog Winnie.<\/p>\n
Olivia took care of Winnie as if she were her own child and did everything in her power to make the sweet little dog feel better.<\/p>\n
