Oprah’s second dog, Sadie, returns home
Oprah Winfrey’s 3-month-old cocker spaniel Sadie has returned home, making a full recovery from Parvovirus, Zootoo reports.
The dog was one of two Winfrey recently adopted from PAWS in Chicago. Ivan, Sadie’s brother, and Winfrey’s second adopted puppy, died earlier this month from complications associated with the disease.
A spokesperson for Winfrey said Sadie is doing well.
It is unclear where the puppies contracted Parvo, which attacks white blood cells and can cause intestinal problems, resulting in severe diarrhea, and subsequently, dehydration.
The disease frequently affects younger or older dogs with weakened immune systems.
PAWS (Pets Are Worth Saving) has maintained that Winfrey’s puppies, like all of its animals, received all of their required immunizations before they were adopted in the beginning of March.
