I took my 2 month old puppy to the vet. They confirmed that she has parvo.I really can't afford to get the treatment that the vet has. My question is is there anything that I could do at home to help her?

To tell you the truth no there is not. The dog needs the IV and the meds in order to get over this horrible sickness. If you can't afford this, you might want to go the animal shelter and see the vet there. They may be able to help you out.
Please ask the vet to work with you. It is critical to follow vet directed protocols to have the best possible outcome.
Prayers for the pup.
if you have antibiotics of your own then you have nothing to lose,give them to your pup.Feed hamburger and rice force feed little bits if you have to also force little bit of water watch out the lungs.
Try to work with your Vet to find a plan you can afford. The odds of your pup making it without Vet treatment are not good. It does happen but your odds are much improved with treatment.
Yes it is possible. The virus has to run its course. Your job is to keep the puppy hydrated. If you can keep the puppy hydrated, you can help it get through this awful virus at home.
Also it depends on your dog and how much damage to its intestines and stomach there is.
Comfort the dog and put spoonfuls of homemade pedialyte, in the dogs mouth. Do this as much as you can, but let the dog sleep.
I have seen dogs, non- responsive to iv and antibiotics. If you can stop dehydration, not only will they survive bit they will probably be immune from the virus in the future.
