Humane Society treats six abandoned puppies, one with parvovirus, using costly new therapy.

The Humane Society of Western Montana is treating six abandoned puppies, one of which tested positive for parvovirus, using a new monoclonal antibody therapy. This treatment, though costly at $200 per vial, has helped one puppy, Buttercup, show significant improvement. The society is facing a rise in parvo cases and recommends vaccinating puppies at five months old. They are also seeking community donations to help cover the treatment costs.
