You should not give anything to a puppy without a vets recommendation, and they will not give that without seeing the pup. An animals metabolism is much different than that of a humans and you could cause harm, especially to a pup.

∙ 12y agoMy lab puppy was diagnosed with Parvo 4 days ago. My vet did prescribe Amoxicillin. This does not cure Parvo, it helps to prevent other bacteria from growing in the intestine. Parvo is a virus and will not be cured with antibiotics.

Can you give a puppy parvo if you touched a dog with parvo with your shirt?
Technically you can, but it would be unlikely. A high dose of parvo would come from being in contact with infected feces. Also, if you feel that your dog may be in danger of parvo and you can't afford the vet bills there is a company that will help diagnose your dog for free look up they were very helpful for me.
Why is your 3 week old puppy not active?
How old is your puppy? If you have not given your puppy his puppy shots....it could be Parvo. Parvo will kill if it is not treated. You need to get your puppy to the vet for blood test. my puppy is 6 months old- she has gotten all of her shots. that's why im concerned. i just got back from the vet- but he said he wasnt sure what was going on. they ran some blood and urine tests so im waiting for the results. how is parvo found?
Why would my 4 month old Puppy be throwing up and going diarreha?
He very well may have Parvo. It is very important to get him to vet ASAP
If you live in the city at what age should you first walk your puppy?
It is best to wait until your puppy has had all of its shots. Typically 3 sets of puppy shots will do the trick. Your puppy's shots need to include Parvo. Parvo is deadly and fairly common (depending on your area). At 4 months old they are vaccinated against Rabies (some people walk their dogs before this shot). After your puppy is fully vaccinated start your walks. If you got your dog from a breeder, they can help you with common practices in puppy care and breed specific questions. Your vet is always a good resource and should be happy to answer any question you may have.
Will taking 875mg of amoxicillin make me sick?
Unknown. You may have an allergy to amoxicillin.
What kind of sicknesses can dogs get?
dogs can get alot of things. but parvo is the main one. here is some information on parvo: = Symptoms = The symptoms may not appear in order. Every dog is different and will begin the symptoms in different stages. * You may notice your dog is not playing as much and seems to be lying around a lot more. * Vomiting - The vomit is yellow froth (bile) * Diarrhea - Diarrhea has a very foul odor (worse than any smell you have encountered). It starts out with a yellowish or greenish looking stool then turns into a dark-brown-runny stool. * Depression * Your dog may or may not have a fever * They will dehydrate very quickly becoming skin and bones in a very short time. Very few dogs survive without intervention of some kind. = Exposure = Parvo is extremely contagious. It is passed in the feces or vomit of an infected dog. It can be brought into your yard on your tires, on your feet or clothing after handling an infected animal. It can be passed from yard to yard by birds carrying the virus on their feet or people going "kennel-hopping" carrying the virus on clothing or shoes. = Incubation = The usual incubation time for Parvo is three to fifteen days. When the virus is introduced into the body, it finds its way into the lymph glands of the animal and incubates. Eventually the virus will leave the glands and work its way into the intestinal tract where it will begin the process of eating away the intestinal lining bringing on the Parvo symptoms. It will also go into the marrow of the bones causing the puppy's immune system to be compromised. This can cause infection, which makes an antibiotic extremely necessary. Again, this process usually takes anywhere from 3 to 15 days, so the number of days between exposure and your puppy showing symptoms is quite variable. = Duration of Parvo? = Parvo puppies treated with Parvaid are generally ready to eat on their own within 2 days (less than ½ the time than those not treated with Parvaid and Vibactra Plus). If the puppy has recently been vaccinated or wormed before becoming sick the time frame will be longer, up to 1 week, depending on the puppies immune system. We recommend using Amber Technology's Vaccination and Wormer Detox to help increase the survival rate. When a puppy is trying to overcome more than 1 obstacle (Parvo and worms, Parvo and Coccidia etc.) it can take over a week. If treated early the average is 4 - 5 days. Be patient, CALM and consistent with your puppy. If you are stressed and upset your puppy will feel this too. Try to keep the environment as quiet and relaxed as you can, so that your puppy feels safe and secure. A calm and soothing environment supports their immune system, as much as it can support ours. = Treatment Options = Here is a list of options you have in caring for your Parvo infected puppy (there may be other options available): # Veterinarian Care - Your Veterinarian will treat the symptoms of Parvo by giving fluids, supportive care and antibiotics. If your puppy is very ill your veterinarian may suggest that you end your puppies life. (you may opt to give your Vet the Parvaid to use in addition to Veterinarian treatment) # Home care with veterinarian supportive care - It may be an option to treat your puppy at home and transport him or her to the Veterinarian for daily IV fluids. # A third option would be to treat your puppy at home.
Why is my puppy vomiting foaming at mouth and cant stand or hold her head up?
it may be nothing too serious but if your puppy is vomiting a lot(yellow liquid) and is barely eating or doesn't eat at or if it starts having diarrhea it may be a sign of parvo or parvovirus. If it does take your puppy to a vet right away you may lose him because this virus can take away your puppy's life . Also, puppies especially at a young age are the ones who likely to get this virus. your welcome and sorry for answering late.
How many antibotic shot should you give a dog with parvo?
It depends on the medication and treatments required. They may include IV fluids, antidiarrheal medications, anti-vomitting medications, and other medications all of which can add up fast as parvo is a difficult disease to treat or cure.
What is the main carrier of parvo?
Dogs are the main parvo carriers, and the fluids and excrement of infected dogs may contain parvovirus. Depending on what you mean by "parvo," cats, minks, foxes, and other similar animals can also carry it.

Is there an interaction between apple cider vinegar and amoxicillin?
No, you may take vinegar with amoxicillin if you want to.
Why is your puppy trembling and shivering?
A puppy that trembles and shivers is probably frightened. It may have been mistreated in the past. It may be in pain. It would be a good idea to have the puppy examined by a veterinarian, and if it is healthy give it lots of cuddling and a quiet environment if possible.
