Pedialyte is for when the child may be dehydrated, and is not to be given as a substitute for a drink. When the child is febrile (feverish) or dehydrated from excessive vomiting or diarhea, it is reccomended because it rehydrates and has essential electrolytes. Think of it as a cold medicine. You would give it to your child only if he/she has a cold and not at any other time.

How many ml of pedialyte do you give a 3 week old puppy with parvo?

Actually, dogs with parvo are easily become dehydrated so you should give him a lot or as long as he want. But puppies with parvo dont eat or drink so we have to force them with water (Never im foods) So use a srynge and give him 8drops of pedialyte on small srynge. (Full) That should be 50/50 at first. 50% water 50% pedialyte. You will do it every hour. If he didnt vomit for 3hours, stop giving him Pedialyte and try giving him Chicken broth. If you have to put it on a syringe, put it. You can also mix a dietary suplement with chicken broth and put it on sryinge and force him to eat it. Theost important thing you can do about your parvo-puppy is to keep an eye on him, pray for him and KEEP HIM DEHYDRATED and the pedialyte would help.
