Generally you must wait and hope that the cat's own immune system gets rid of it, once the cat has become infected.

A parvo shot, like human vaccinations, primes the cat's immune system to fight parvo by introducing weakened viruses for it to practice on. Once the cat has become infected, it is useless to try and vaccinate it.

There are no known medicines that will directly attack viruses, except interferon, which is dreadfully expensive.

Parvovirus is generally species-specific, meaning that it typically infects only one type of host. For example, canine parvovirus primarily affects dogs, while feline parvovirus affects cats. However, some strains of parvovirus can have similar genetic characteristics, which could potentially allow for cross-species infections in rare cases, but this is not common. Overall, the risk of parvovirus crossing species barriers is low.
