Lost My Bella today

I'm feeling guilty and overwhelmed.  My puppy Bella died today.  and I'm not sure what really caused it.  She was very sick.  not moving at all at times, throwing up liquid, and poopooing dark liquid and it looked like blood cloth.  It happened quickly over the weekend.  So today, Monday, we took her to the vet.  But couldn't afford the "in clinic" treatment, so they sent us with medicine and antibiotic.  The vet tested her for parvo virus, and stated it could take 10 minutes, after a few minutes, they said the test result wasn't 100% but will be treating and giving her medicine for Parvo Virus anyway.  They said that they already have 3 other dogs inside that they are treating for Parvo and the virus is high at this time, because of the rainy days.  They said its very contagious.

The treatment:
to give them pedialite or gatorade, because of its electrolytes
antibiotic and another medicine.

the vet said, they can't really treat Parvo, and could only treat the symptoms, They said she had 50/50 chances.  So we took her home.  But no more than 10 minutes later, she was gone.

I feel bad, because I really didn't have the money to get her treated, or I should have noticed it and took better care of her.  But I get so overwhelmed with work sometimes, looking after seven dogs, its not so easy.  And now I have six.
