A puppy of ANY breed of dog that is suspected to have Parvovirus needs immediate vet care.
Parvo can kill a puppy within hours.
How old is your puppy? If you have not given your puppy his puppy shots....it could be Parvo. Parvo will kill if it is not treated. You need to get your puppy to the vet for blood test. my puppy is 6 months old- she has gotten all of her shots. that's why im concerned. i just got back from the vet- but he said he wasnt sure what was going on. they ran some blood and urine tests so im waiting for the results. how is parvo found?
Technically you can, but it would be unlikely. A high dose of parvo would come from being in contact with infected feces. Also, if you feel that your dog may be in danger of parvo and you can't afford the vet bills there is a company that will help diagnose your dog for free look up they were very helpful for me.
yes you should wait, though many vets aren't certain if vaccination after the puppy has had parvo will help. Once it has parvo once the antibodies in it are still present and working, its kind of like the chicken pox, though their are different strains of the disease. Talk to your vet before making any decisions
It is best to wait until your puppy has had all of its shots. Typically 3 sets of puppy shots will do the trick. Your puppy's shots need to include Parvo. Parvo is deadly and fairly common (depending on your area). At 4 months old they are vaccinated against Rabies (some people walk their dogs before this shot). After your puppy is fully vaccinated start your walks. If you got your dog from a breeder, they can help you with common practices in puppy care and breed specific questions. Your vet is always a good resource and should be happy to answer any question you may have.
You should have it screened for lymphoma. The symptoms you described are some of the symptoms for lymphoma.
'Chasing' PARVO is a difficult process, I don't envy your dog. You should get hold of whoever vaccinated him when he was a puppy, it's a basic fundamental process when they are just weeks old. Also all the other vaccines, Rabies, etc., etc. possibly you can get the first vet to help cover your expenses; that's really a very bad mistake!!! Don't forget to take in any other pets in the neighbourhood, it's not just a puppy problem.
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.
Corn syrup is not a treatment for parvo in dogs. While it may provide a quick source of sugar to help with low blood sugar due to the illness, it does not address the underlying viral infection or its symptoms. If a dog is suspected of having parvo, it is crucial to seek veterinary care immediately, as the disease can be severe and requires medical intervention.
Take him to the vet He could have a serious skin condition starting.
The most effective medicine for treating parvo in dogs is supportive care, which includes intravenous fluids, antibiotics, anti-nausea medication, and sometimes blood transfusions. There is no specific medication that can cure parvo, but supportive care can help the dog recover.
Parvo is a virus, and antibiotics don't help against viruses. But Parvo is more common among puppies, so it's more likely to be something else. Take her to a vet and stop guessing.
