Anyway they were both exposed to parvo by this guy walking his pups(why he was walking pups that were from a litter that had parvo ill never know). Anyway he said that it was costing him $800 to treat his pup. So we took off after that but our dog without the shots, Nemo, started throwing up the next week. He seemed pretty lethatgic the 1st day but was fine at night. The next day he was bad, then he got really bad. He was probbaly hours from dehydration so we ended up giving him pedialyte enemas until he was able to hold down his pedialyte orally. We couldnt take him to the vet too much $$ so we would have had to put him down. Anyway I found this site that sells some herbal remedy that supposed to be pretty good. So i rush deliverd it and a antibacterial to prevent secondary infection. Anyway, the day after he was really bad he showed signs of improvement from the pedialye. He would get up get tired and lay back down. The day the medicine arrived he was still improving some but not too fast. After we started the meds he was back to normal in about 2 days. I dont think his parvo was bad but he did almost die from dehydration. WIthout the medicine i think he would have recovered in about 5-7 days, but he got better a lot faster with it. Plus it only cost $100. I have 2 dogs 1 with parvo shots one without.

While staying at a vet' s office they would have given him IV fluids. Where I used to work if someone couldn't afford to leave the pet we sent them home with antibiotics and a bag of fluids to give them under there skin. Did your vet give you either. All you can do at home is to keep a close eye on him and keep him somewhere that he can get lots of rest. With parvo there is always a risk of the dog not making it. If you have any questions don't be afraid to call your vet and ask. need more info- all you can do is keep an eye on him and keep him hydrated.

I have a dog that had parvo when he was four months old. I nursed him through it without actual hospitalization, and now he's an awesome five year old dog. Parvo does kill a lot of puppies, but not all of them. Did your vet recommend anything in particular besides hospitalization? If he did, follow his advice. Any advice your vet gave you is probably much better than anything I can say. With my dog, the vet recommended crate rest, pedialyte or similar to help keep his fluids up, and a rice and hamburgur diet once he could keep solids down. It was pretty nasty - for a couple weeks my poor dog had to stay in his crate all the time. I walked him often, but he had the runs and threw up quite a lot, so I had to clean his crate as often as not. If your puppy is having diahrea and/or throwing up, you probably should keep her in a crate. You don't want the mess all over your house, and if you put her outside she'll likely get too cold - she needs to be kept warm and comfy. Try to get her to drink lots. Give her little meals, just a spoonful or two, until she can keep food down. Then let her eat more gradually. You don't want to overwhelm her stomache when it's just starting to heal. I hope she recovers - it'd be horrible to lose your puppy. Good luck! First, don’t give up hope quite yet. I have a dog that had parvo when he was four months old.

Parvo can be in the dirt for a long time after an infected dog has been there. Try talking to your vet though most of them will work something out with you.

Call the vet first to inform them you are coming so they can isolate you from other patients. You need to wash everything you can including the bottom of your shoes with Clorox. If your dog survives it will always be a carrier. Keep up with the vaccinations. This is a life and death situation. Parvo is a deadly contagious disease and that dog needs to be treated ASAP.
