She took both puppies to the vet. In a few days, Ivan failed to recover from the illness. In the fourth day, the condition of Sadie has gotten worst. Luckily, Sadie recovers on the fifth day. The white blood cells rise in count. Even though Ivan just live with Oprah for a few days, Oprah was sad to see Ivan pass away.
