Sunday 3/08 Amira had a vet appointment scheduled. This extra checkup was supposed to determine why she was losing weight, and it turned into a rollercoaster of emotions. For a couple of days, she refused to eat any food on her own, and that remained a complete mystery to us—until yesterday.
The vet left nothing to chance. Amira’s eyes looked dull and empty. Distemper was immediately suspected. A blood sample was taken for analysis. Fortunately, the test was negative. A small relief—but short-lived. The next option: Parvo and the Coronavirus. We held our breath.
And then came the news we’d so hoped we wouldn’t get: positive for the Coronavirus. A cold stab straight to our hearts.
Amira was immediately given the necessary medication: painkillers, antibiotics, supportive injections… everything to give her body the strength to fight this merciless virus. Blood was also drawn for further analysis in the lab.
With a supply of medication and a head full of worries, we returned to the shelter. From now on, the real battle begins. We will surround her with every care in the coming days. Help her eat. Comfort her when things are difficult. Hold her hand—or rather, her paw—when she’s at a loss. Because Amira is not alone.
Eat together.
Drink together.
Fight together.
Heal together.For Amira.
For her second chance at life.
