More information regarding my dog with parvo:
My dog stopped eating on Monday and when vomiting and diarreah started Tuesday, I took her to the vet on Wednesday, they said she had a bacterial infection and put her on medicine... When she still wouldn't eat Wednesday night I took her to the ER vet, where she stayed the night and was given her antibiotics and fluids through an IV, she's gained one pound since then. I picked her up at 6am from the ER vet and took her straight to her vet where they continued the antibiotics and fluids. I just spoke with them, as I'm at work, and they said they force fed her at 10 & she threw up but she only threw up mucus, so she was able to keep the food down. & they fed her again at 12, but she had crazy diarreah. I understand it takes a while for the virus to run it's course but I just want to know what her chances are. The vet suggested that I take her to ER again tonight to continue her IV fluids & antibiotics but I've already run up a $900 bill and I'm a single mom... :-\ What do I do? Obviously I would do anything for her.
When The dog completely get rid of Parvo virus
Parvo is highly contagious. So if the infected dog was near a dog that wasn't vaccinated against parvo, it is possible to infect the healthy dog whether it was sexual contact or not.
My dog had parvo and we learned to give the dog have a pill of Tylenol and pepto bismal
No, Tamiflu is for treating Parvo in dogs - if the dog does not have Parvo, it does not need Tamiflu.
Any dog can get parvo. To prevent it, go to the vet and get the shots are dog normally needs.
No. Once your dog has had parvo, it cannot get it again, same scenario as with chickenpox.
Parvo kills your dog after the dog dies parvo can live on your land where the dog was and any place he played or laid while he had it for at least 7 years I suggest any dog you get take and get his shots A.S.A.P.!! Parvo is awful it's torture for you and your beloved dog!!!!
You mean "Parvo", and yes, they can get it from another dog.
They can get a form of feline Parvo called Panleukopenia Virus. It's alot like the dog's parvo virus but only cats can get it. we had an out break of it when we rescued a new litter of kittens, all of the kittens died because they were unvaccinated, we have 4 older cats who were vaccinated & they are just fine it didnt effect them. Its spread through sharing living area's & eating out of the same bowl, as well as drinking out of the same water dish as an infected cat. Areas infected with feline panleukopenia need to be disinfected with a bleach solution. There is also treatment available. Prevention through routine vaccination is extremely effective.
No, but sometimes dogs can still get parvo even if they've been vaccinated. If your dog has contract parvo and was vaccinated against it, contact the vaccine company. In most cases, they will pay for treatment of your dog because their product did not work.
Getting your dog the parvo vaccine is not 100 percent protection. Certain breeds are more vonerable to contracting Parvo. Bulldogs, pitbulls, boxers and dobermans are prone to this disease and if they have come into contact with it they could easily get it.
