My little Furby was a Pomeranian-Poodle mix and bought him from a pet shop on 3rd of June and sadly passed away on 26/6/06 due to a viral infection which caused vomiting and bloody diarrhea. He was a naughty but lovable little devil and will be missed by all at home. Furby, wherever you are, we love you. Miss your pouncing and hopping and your cheeky face.

I brought FURBY to a vet in Penang for his 2nd jab of vaccine just a week before he started showing symptoms of the virus. I suspect that his untimely death was directly caused by a thermometer used during a routine check-up inserted into his err... cute li'l behind before the injection. I strongly encourage dog-owners to bring along their own thermometer to the vet to minimize risks of infection from other dogs. Furby started vomitting on Friday evening and i brought him back to the same vet on Sat morning and Sun morning. There was no suspicion of a viral infection. His condition got worse on Sunday nite and on Mon morning we woke up to find blood with diarrhea. We quickly took him to another different vet and "hospitalized" him and they gave him 3 injections to stop the vomitting and diarrhea and another was vitamin for his fragile state. He passed away at 2.40p.m. that same afternoon and I arrived just 5 mins after to visit him only to be told by the Dr. that he just passed. I went in to see him and the Vet said that it might be Coronavirus or Parvovirus. Both had similar symptoms and that if the dog dies within 3-5 days after showing the first symptom, it is usually a viral infection. And viruses normally has an incubation period and doesn't immediately show any signs immediately after contracting it. We were shocked by the drastic change in behaviour as he was super hyper that whole week, and I even stayed at home with him the whole day of Friday to play with him when he started to vomit at about 7.30p.m. We thought it was indigestion, but he kept on purging every 1 hour interval until there was nothing left but water. It only stopped when I fed him 100 plus. Sigh...ironic that the one place animals go to be cured was the one place that I think got him killed. I have no other pets at home and we didn't take him out of the house since we brought him bck from the pet shop 3 weeks before. And no, the virus wasn't from the pet shop as the incubation period would have been too long, it normally takes about 1 week to show the first symptom. The Vet agreed that the most likely place was during the 2nd jab. And if u look up in canine disease & illnesses website, the most common way to contract the Coronavirus or Parvovirus was via infected feces, hence the only way in was the thermometer used. Perhaps it wasn't thoroughly disinfected or sterilised before inserting it into Furby. So be careful u guys out there.
