I’m sorry to hear she is so sick. She might live and it sounds like your veterinarian is making every effort to provide her with the best care. Unfortunately, as you already know, there are no guarantees. All you can do is treat the conditions that can be treated and hope for the best. You are doing everything you can and that is what gives your puppy the best chances of a good outcome. Best wishes. Please feel free to post any additional questions.
