Treatment of Dog Parvo
Filed Under Dog Parvo Information | 21 Comments
If you’re dog is unlucky enough to get parvo and you get to the vet in time, this post will give you a little bit of what to expect.
Honestly, there’s not much they can do. The true danger of parvo is dehydration and malnutrition, so that’s what the vet will focus on. Mostly the dog will be pumped with IV fluids containing vitamins, sugar, and potassium. This can be done at home, if you’re up for it, but most of the time hospitalization is required.
In some cases, the vet may also inject your dog with some sort of anti-nausea medication to help prevent anymore regurgitation.
Once a dog can finally begin keeping his food and fluids down, IV’s are gradually reduced. Very bland food is offered. Many times, a vet will also administer antibiotics to help ward off secondary infection, because the dog’s immune system will be severely weak from the experience.
Unconventional Treatment of Parvo
Some anecdotal reports claim that Tamiflu reduces parvo’s severity and can aid in faster recovery if given early enough. Also, a substance produced by silkworm larvae has been shown to be effective, but research is still preliminary.
There are also natural remedies that many people have had success with, such as Parvo-K. We’ve seen far too many testimonials to ignore it, and so we’re offering it here on the site for a discounted price. Buy Parvo-K here.
As always, your first resort should be to get your dog to a veterinarian ASAP. If you can’t afford that, however, Parvo-K might be a suitable alternative.

omg my puppy has parvo
Sorry 2 hear about your Dog Ash. My puppy does 2. It’s already 2 late 2 do anything but have her put 2 sleep…
I found a 6 month old poodle wandering the streets where I live. I noticed he hadn’t eaten much food since I found him, and when he did eat he’d throw it right back up. I took him to a vet, they were so cold and mean hearted toward me and the puppy, right now times are tough we are a struggling family of 8, and we already have one dog. But we could not leave him to die, we just aren’t those types of people. The vet said he couldn’t help us because we are on a fixed income.
He’s final words to us before we left were “Oh, by the way. Your dog has parvo enjoy that.” I feel so bad for this puppy, a life on the streets and then finally he finds himself a nice home. and now he has parvo.I’m going to try my hardest to help this poor puppy, because he cannot help himself. And he was brought to my doorstep for some reason. Now my question, does anyone know of any organizions who can help me with this financially?
i think my puppy has parvo and hes small i wish i had something to save him i love him I LOVE YOU SLEEPY
Im so sad, I cant stop crying. By 7 month old pitbull had to be put to sleep today. He had been sick for 3 or 4 days according to my mom who was taking care of him while we found a house where we could keep her.
After Coco (the puppy) began with bloody dirreah my mom took him to the vet where she got the bad news. We couldnt afford to pay $4000 to try to save her, but I wish I would have been there or at least know more about parvo and try to save her. She had been sick like I said for 3 or 4 days so maybe she was almost out. Now I feel worse….
I will always love you Coco

Our 2 dogs are also sick with Parvo symptoms. We have a friend who breeds dogs and she says often little can be done because it is a virus. She said give the dog some peptobimal to help the stomach from hurting and keep or force them to drink. If the nap of the neck stays up and doesn’t just spring back that means the dog is dehydrated. We have been force feeding our dogs a few tablespoons each 1/2 hour of water mixed with some nutrients, apple juice and a touch of salt–like pedialyte. I understand the greatest complication is death by dehydration. A dog can live through it, keeping them hydrated is a big step in the right direction. If anyone else is able to give us some quick pointers for those of us who are too poor to go to the vet who wants to charge 3-$500 and won’t take payments, please post it.
hi my name is trina my mom and dad have a basset hound that just got diagnosed with parvo the vet prescribed some pills for shorty to take and also to give him a little chicken broth just two spoon fulls and also gatorade for hydration. right now he is sleeping i so hope he gets better. i know that the vet bill cost about 178 dollars. my mom is going to try and nurse him and try to get him better i hope it works because we all love him. he is apart of our family.
My name is Trish and I have a 9 month old saint bernard named Daisy and I think she has parvo but I have called every vet in my area and none of them will do a payment plan I am really tight on money and I dont know what to do! I am so scared.
Our 7 week old puppy was just diagnosed with Parvo virus so when he gets treated and better does this mean he will live normally or can they get it again and eventually die?
I had a puppy many years ago with parvo. He had had his first vaccination so had some immunities.
It was on the weekend and the small rural town I was from had no emergency vet service. I had to keep him alive over the weekend.
I gave him small amounts of pepto bismol with a large eye dropper. Then I gave him a couple of eye droppers full of gatoraide (back then, pediasure now)every half hour.
Have lots of towels available and be ready to sit on the floor for a few days to give encouragement.
On Monday we took him to the vet they gave him an I.V. kept him over night and charged me $500.00
They told me I saved his life, but they still charged me.
hi i have a 7 month old cocker spaniel… and she is really sick, im hoping and praying that its not parvo.. but reading all the different remedies are giving me hope.. i also can not afford the vet bills. but i love my baby Miracle so much, she’s like my daughter. i need help
i have a 8 week old puppy who just two days ago started to show signs of parvo. Foamy vomitting, diahrrea, and has no appettite. does anyone know how big of a window do i have to cure him
Our sweet 3month 3day old Piper was diagnosed with parvo today, It all started yesterday when she vomited clear looking saliva and then she wasn’t playful like she usually is and had poor appetite. today we brought her home and started her on meds and she seems to be a liitle better.
We spent $198.00 but she’s worth every penny. I’m given her lots of LOVE and PRAYERS and am asking PLEASE for the whole world to pray for her speedy recovery. Thanks and God bless you all:)
My husband and I bought a 110.00 pit from the animal shelter, he fell in love with her. She was doing very well the fisrt night and did a 360. This baby has ended up costing 500 in two days on vey fees and we had no idea. All they keep saying is bring her back in for treatment we have maxed out one credit card and she isn’t getting better. We had originally asked the shelter is anything was wrong bec her belly was puffy,they said no maybe some worms. Well she has em but the medication is doing nothing for her. As much as this hurts us we are going to have to put her to sleep. We can not afford more treatment, He is in the Military and I am a housewife because jobs are so limited right in Jacksonville. We just don’t have the money and I wish it hadn’t come down to this bec she was very obidient and never “went” inside. Weve practically killed our lawn with bleach so when we move others won’t suffer how we are now. We love you Mya baby : (
for anyone with a puppy who has parvo. Symptoms include dry nose or grey gum line, due to dehydration. vomiting or and diarria. Blood in stool can be present.
you can save your puppy! I found that if you catch it in time you can nurse your dog back to help by feeding them Pediasure the milky formula. Use a baby dropper or baster to make dog drink. it has the nutrience and vitamins they need to fight throught it. also its good to switch it off with water as well. the most important thing is keeping them hydrated. if you have access to a seringe or IV you can give them injection of water between shoulder blades just under the skin until it bubbles up. the water then will be absorbed into body, this is the best way, but we dont all have access to those type of things.
My dog survived after a week and a half and he had gotten to the point of bleeding severly.
I hope this helps you.

Hello my 6month old Belgian shepherd leslee is currently dealing with parvo, I noticed she wasn’t eating two days ago and came across this extremely encouraging website. I’m a young guy on my own and I didn’t think about having to take her to the vet or anything when I adopted her. The last two days were the worst, she showed every sign, except for the blood in stool (looks more like a melted hershey bar, and the smell omg!) But today she’s walking and going up and down the stairs, and playing lite fetch, so I’m guessing she’s getting better. My treatment for her is pydialyte, peptobismol, baby food (chicken), and I bought some water with electrolytes. I have to feed her with a syringe but today she drinking the water on her own. I REALLY HOPE SHE MAKES IT!
Hello pet owners I also have a story to tell..Well this month my Grandmothers dog had parvo and unfortunately she didnt make it. My grandmother was so upset because she had Nala (that was the dog name)since she was a puppy. The dog was bleeding serverly through her anal area,she could’nt move and she didnt want to eat.When they took her to the SPCA the veternarian said ” It was nothing he could do to save her it was too late” so they had to put her to sleep.
That day my Grandmother was very strong even though she didnt want to do it she had to keep her daughter(she was like a daughter to her,her only daughter)from suffering the pain she was in. I personally was upset also because I wasnt there to say GoodBye. Not only was she like an aunt to me its going to be hard because when I go to my Granmothers house I know that she wont be there to Greet me I Love You nd We all will miss you

well my puppy was 16 weeks old. she was full of life and full of energy. one day she didnt feel like eating but she was still drinking. the next day she would not eat or drink. i took her to the vet and he said she had parvo. she was very weak and had loose stools and vomiting. by that night she had blood in her stools and it was a fowl odor. she died shortly after. the vet offered me iv set up for her but could not say it would work.it was very hard for me to watch her suffer and die.if you see any change in your pups diet do not ignore take them to the vet at once.
We have three puppies and two have parvo. The male is 4 mo. old and has been at the hospital for 4 days and nights and I don’t think he is going to make it.The female, his sister was dignosed yesterday (Thursday) with the same thing. The only difference is she has threw up a few times, still drinks water and will eat somethings. We also give her meds and chicken broth with electrolites and some kind of paste. She acts like she is fine. Her brother went down hill fast. I don’t understand the way she is doing except it is a prayer answered. I believe God can cure anybody or any living thing. If tears and begging helps, I’ve done a lot of that too. God bless all the animals and the people who love them.
