Winfrey adopted Sadie, an 8-week-old blond cocker spaniel from PAWS Chicago. She showed off the pup's picture on her March 6 show. She also adopted one of Sadie's littermates, a dog she named Ivan.
Several days later, Ivan became ill with parvovirus -- a highly infectious disease that affects the gastrointestinal tract in puppies -- and passed away late last week.

Sadie also was infected, Winfrey's pal Gayle King tells Usmagazine.com.
"Sadie is sick and we're waiting we're waiting to hear," King told Us Tuesday at a Valentino in NYC. "We're hoping that Sadie will be fine. Sadie is in the hospital, but as you might expect, she is getting the best of care."
Look back on Oprah's weight ups and downs over the years.
Added King, "I have fingers closed, eyes crossed. Prayers. We're all wishing Sadie will get better."

Winfrey's two cocker spaniels, Sophie and Solomon, died last year. Her golden retriever, Gracie, choked to death on a plastic ball in 2007.
She still has two golden retrievers, Luke and Layla.
