Nursing a Dog Through Parvo?

Two days ago I found out my dog has been infected with parvo. Is it still possible for me to take her to get vaccinated against it, or will it harm her? Are there any remedies to get her to eat and drink again?

Well I'm happy to say my dog is all better now, she's back to herself, and no thanks to the vet. I was sent home with a big bill and my sick dog, what actually got her better was giving her Pedialyte, and children antibiotics.

My dog is 18 months old rottweiler he is dying right now of parvo. I took him to the vet and the vet charged me like 600 bucks and to leave him thete for 4 days it would cost 3,300 or something i argued with the bastered and told his monkey ass were was his integrity. I was part of the community and been taking my animals there since 1992 and that this was bullshit how can he charge me that much for this and why? He had to had made a oath to serve and protect animals and save lives as much as possible i told him how can he let me leave knowing my dog was going to loose his life if he didnt help me. At the end he ended up charging me well the mex lady ended up taking off some medication that she said between me and her was one equal to pepto bismo just another fancy word .

and the other fancy word for food was pretty much chicken soup with rice. And some other bullshit she said was fancy words ment not to much. I ended up paying 395 maybe a little more plus120 for visit and parvo test. My dog is drinking like crazy Pedialyte then throwing up. Squirting out blood threw his rectum. Smells terrible but i aint gave up on my pal and wont eather im the kind of person that i ride with my loved ones to the end. I just put 6 raw eggs mixed with Pedialyte. In a bowl he drank all of it and only threw up a little. Please god i wonder can you please save him. He is holding it down like 10 min now. Im crossing my fingers. The meds i bought were the meds to inject under his skin.

My 3 year old pit has Parvovirus and I was sent home with IV bags and good luck wishes because $4000 was too much to have her put in the emergency animal hospital. Its day 3 and she just started throwing up and having diarrhea again. What can I give her to help her fight this?

Most local feed stores have penecillin and enroxil. These antibiotics I know for a fact helped my dogs get better after parvo

Pedialite and beef and vegetable baby food. You may have to get it all the way to the back of the mouth and rub throat to make them swallow but keep him hydrated and nourished I save my pit sent home by the vet in this way.

Heres my story. I hope it helps someone else save their pups. I have a litter of puppies we are currently nursing through parvo. At 6 weeks they all received their first round of shots. Within 2 days they were all deathly ill. We started with 8 puppies. 2 died before I could get them to the vet and 2 died while at the vet. They were all diagnosed with Parvo. Somehow they had been exposed to it. When they received their shots the live parvo virus in the immunizations was too much for them as they already had the virus. The vet said that he would gladly treat them, but the around the clock care would be costly. He sent me home with an oral antibiotic, saline, and a complete IV setup. All of this cost me $137. You can also buy these things at your local Tractor Supply or feed store. I started giving each of my 4 puppies 50 cc of saline under the skin every 4 hours around the clock. That was the amount the vet recommended. Hydration is key. They also need a ton of love and reassurance that they arent doing anything wrong. I know it sound strange, but if they think theyre displeasing you theyll get very depressed and may delay recovery.

My puppies each get a dose of oral antibiotic first thing in the morning. I give each a teaspoon of low sodium chicken broth about every 2 hours to keep their strength up. They were throwing that up at first, but now theyre holding it down. As far as containment, I have them in the bath tub with bedding at one end and a puppy pad at the other. As soon as the pad is soiled I change it. Ive been washing their paws every time they walk on the soiled pad. Im making sure all bedding stays clean and dry. Ive gone through 2 gallons of bleach in my washing machine in 3 days. The key is to keep them as clean and hydrated as possible. We are now on hour 80 since the first bloody stool and all the puppies are doing great. 3 are eating and playing like nothing ever happened. The last little guy is taking a bit longer to recover, but I expect him to make a full recovery too. I hope this helps someone else save their puppies too. This saved all my puppies that were expected to die.

first off how old is your dog. I have a 9 week old puppy who has early signs of parvo. If you feed him white rice, boiled chicken (with no skin) and mix it in with very little water and heat it up for 20 seconds, that is what my puppy eats, that and wet dog food or Gerber baby food, either chicken, beef, or turkey.
