What do you do if your dog has parvo?

Answer 1

Parvo is a life threatening virus. There is no cure for Parvo but there is treatment available. Your dog needs to go to the vet where they will give you instructions on how to prevent dehydration and probably give you antibiotics to prevent a secondary infection. The survival rate for a treated dog is 80% but its only 20% for an untreated dog. A few months ago, one of my daughter's dogs got parvo. He was pretty late stage when finally diagnosed. He died the next morning despite her best efforts to save him. The vet wanted $400 + to keep him overnight and said it would be at least 3 nights he would have to stay. There was no way she could do that! I told her to give ALL of them 4 tumeric capsules, 1 whole clove freshly ground (encapsulated), 1 slice of ginger (she used crystalized), 4 echinacea with goldenseal capsules, 2 milk thistle capsules two times a day. For the acutely ill one, she gave him water every 5 min with a bulb syringe until she fell asleep. It was too late for him. When she awoke a few hours later, he was dead. That same afternoon, another dog became ill and had bloody diarrhea. I had her give an extra dose. The following morning, the dog was playing and acting fine. The other two never got sick, though they were directly exposed. None had a parvo shot. Vets also want to give antibiotics to prevent a secondary infection. This compromises the dogs immune system and does not help with parvo at all. Turmeric is an excellent "antibiotic." But since it is natural, Dr's don't know or believe. I even cured my son's MRSA with a topical application of turmeric and baking soda and giving him capsules internally. I hope this helps someone. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: "Parvo" is a word most puppy owners learn, and learn to dread. It's short for canine parvovirus, the most common infectious dog disease in the U.S. Even though it's a relatively new disease in the dog world, parvo's ubiquitous--present at significant levels in every environment, from home to kennel to park. In fact, trying to shield a puppy from exposure is considered completely futile in this day and age. It's a ridiculously tough virus that can survive for months on living things, and even on objects such as furniture, toys, and carpets. for more information click the link below: http://dogtime.com/parvovirus.html

Answer 2

Best bet is to get him or her to the vet immediately so they can start antibiotics and proper shots and treatment, there are many new things good vets are learning to do to help animals with parvo, including things like Vit B and other possibilities. Depending on the severity of the case, one thing that can definitely help is something like Pedialyte but with no sugar, sugar adds to any infection, basically potassium chloride (salt substitute) and good clean water will help keep them hydrated, that is why they get such horrible stools and very wet and stinky. DEHYDRATION.... you can easily Google a recipe for electrolytes for dogs and find one without sugar or just do without the sugar, in some cases it can save a pups life that cannot get right to the vet, and as well help with treatment as they are healing.. I hope your baby gets better.. keep close watch <3

2nd Answer:

If you suspect at all that there is something wrong with your dog, then take it in to be checked out by your Veterinarian immediately. Symptoms of parvo are diarrhea, no appetite, depression, sometimes vomiting, dehydration, etc. Your dog should have been vaccinated against Parvo, shame on you. Take your dog in to your Veterinarian immediately or you will have a dead dog.
