My puppy is just suffered from Parvo last week. We were about to give up on him because he wasn’t eating, he was not lively as usual, and he was vomiting excessively.
We left him outside the house for the night.
I woke up early morning and he stood up and went for me. He was moving but still weak.
My mom made a home remedy, kinda like a ginger ale. She made a drink of water, brown sugar and ginger root. We let my puppy drank it. and after 2 days he was already trying to eat. and now, he’s very much alive and kicking (or biting). No special meds, just a ginger-sugar drink. :p

My husband and I bought a dog from a breeder and they said that he had his shots and everything so we never thought anything bout getting them redone. Well our Lab is 8 months old now and just found out he has parvo. He is litteraly waterfall of bloody stools, and vommitting, and not eating for 2 days now. He is still drinking water on his owm so that gives me hope. I used to work as a vet tech before I was pregnant, were a military family so we have a tight budget so unfortunatly taking our poor Chevy to the vet is not going to be possible. Ive been reading some of the methods ppl on here have been doing and im trying to do them as well as push fluids into him with a siringe. The most important part is to keep them hydrated and get nutrients into them. So fingers crossed that Chevy makes it and gets over this parvo.. Poor Doggies shouldnt have to fight this battle alone.. We love you Chevy And stay strong. If anyone has any other tips feel free to please share them with me.. Thanks and god bless all the ppl going through this..

I’ve been reading alot about what people are doing to save their dogs because right now I have to dogs that have parvo. I can’t afford to take them to the vet so I’m hoping that I can save them on my own, it’s really hard but I’m not going to give up. My oldest dog who is 2years and 8 months is the one that got it first and we couldn’t tell what was wrong but now that my youngest puppy is showing signs and is real sick, we now know it is parvo. I’m going to try gatorade and peptobismol and see if it starts helping, I’m really hoping that it does help also if anybody has any advice to give me please do it right away cause I’m running out of time. Thank everyone and may god bless you all and your pets.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
