Vaccinate, vaccinate, vaccinate
Family pet defies deadly parvovirus
By Mary Judson
South Jetty editor
Usually frisky, ravenous and affectionate,
Molly, a yellow Labrador retriever mix, was
suddenly laid back, had no appetite and re-
treated to a shady comer of the yard.
OwnerTom Hyder was concerned and called
the veterinarian. He was even more concerned,
and shocked, to learn that his 14-month old
family pet, who had had all her shots, had
parvovirus.
“When I start getting cases in like this, I say
‘Hey, something’s wrong!’, especially when
the dog’s vaccine history is impeccable,” said
Port Aransas veterinarian Dr. Floyd Garrett.
The story has a happy ending, thanks to the
concern and quick action of her master. After
a two-day stay at the vet’s during which she
was treated with intravenous fluids and antibi-
otics, Molly is at home, the same frisky, raven-
ous and affectionate member of the Hyder
family.
Not all parvo cases come to the same con-
clusion, however. This deadly virus is trans-
mitted from one dog to another in several
ways. It can be carried on feet, shoes, contami-
nated cages and other objects, or in the feces of
the infected animals.
The first symptoms are loss of appetite,
followed by vomiting and severe depression,
and finally bloody diarrhea. Within 24 hours,
the fever can spike to 106 degrees.
Garrett said he has seen about two cases of
parvo a week in the past four weeks. “You

Thanks to quick treatment by veterinarian Dr. Floyd Garrett, Molly is back at

had been vaccinated, but Garret believes puppies should be treated for at least
two more weeks than is customary to eliminate the "window of opportunity" for
infection between the time natural immunities diminish and injected immunities
take over. See story for details. (Staff photo by Murray Judson)

Weaver weaves tales
of long-ago fishing
By Mary Judson
South Jetty editor
Fishing — it isn’t what it used to be, and
that's not to say there aren't plenty of fish to
catch.
It’s the spirit of fishing, the adventure that
dominated the coast in the early to raid-1900s
that's gone.
- Few are left to tell about it, and Henry
Weaver is one.
