That's the only way to treat a parvo patient, is to take them to the vet. They have to administer certain IV fluids to the dog. Also, the dog must be isolated from other dogs or they can spread it. And, if you are in contact with a dog who has parvo, you can spread it to another dog if you come in contact with them, so be careful about that.
There is a cheaper way to go about treating parvo (it cant be cured) without spending thousands of dollars by doing outpatient treatment. Take the dog to the vet, they can give you the IV fluids and show you how to adminster them, and tell you exactly what to do. They can also give you antibiotics for secondary infections, although it wont do anything for the parvo but will help to not cause any other problems.
When your dog has parvo, they're not eating because of the vomiting, so when you're treating parvo, wait about 24 hours after the animal has stopped vomiting to give them food or water. The IV fluids will help keep them hydrated. Give them a little bit of water at a time throughout the day. If they can keep that down, feed them a specific food that is for sensitive GI tracts and like the water, give them very little a few times a day to make sure they keep it down. Your vet can recommend a food, or Purina EN at your clinic is a good choice, too.
When your dog recovers and is no longer showing symptoms, it'll be about 2 weeks before they are no longer contagious, but check that out with your vet.
Hope this helps!!!!
Pedialyte is a good thing to start out giving to your dog when you think he or she can keep a bit of water down. Pedialyte does not upset the gut. You can find it in the grocery stores in the baby section. ID is a prescription diet that you can get from your Vet that is a bland food to feed your dog after your dog has stopped vomiting.
