Yes, but it is not advised. The fatality rate is much higher.
Answer #2
I disagree with the first answer given. The survival rate at a vet's office is about 50%, so you have the same odds at home as long as you provide constant support to the animal. There are two types of Parvo and the first type will kill the dog in about a day. Neither you, nor your vet, will have much luck saving a dog with that type of Parvo. The second type will usually take three or four days to run it's course, but the dog is likely to survive if hydration is maintained and diarrhea is controlled. My suggestion, if you prefer to treat your dog at home, would be to work with a vet for a better chance of success. They will usually give the dog fluids by IV, antibiotics and something to help with the diarrhea. Continue hydrating the dog at home by giving Pedialyte by mouth with a medicine syringe that your vet can give you, or any pharmacist is likely to have. Take the dog back for additional fluids as often as the vet recommends, which is likely to be daily. Prepare a room to treat the dog in and keep all other animals away. You can pass the disease to your other dogs if they aren't vaccinated. Have plenty of newspaper, paper towels, rubber gloves, spray cleaner, and old blankets or towels on hand. The diarrhea will be profuse.
