My puppy has Parvo. Is Parvo-K good if vet treatment is too expensive?

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Parvovirus is a severe gastroenteritis that affect puppies more often. This is a viral infection so there is no direct treatment for the virus so the treatment per se is directed at treating secondary bacterial infections and mostly helping with the clinical symptoms of vomiting, diarrhea and inappetence. This warrants ideally hospitalization with some cases being able to be managed with outpatient care depending on its severity. I recommend that you continue to follow up with a veterinarian who can institute therapy for Cleo as soon as possible. The quicker this condition gets treated the better the outcome tends to be. Good luck! Hoping for a quick recovery!

Sadly puppies needs a lot of supportive care to be able to pull through Parvovirus infection. Sometimes even with all the necessary care, they don’t make it.I t depends also on Walker ‘s immune system and how strong he is but he should really have at least intravenous fluids and antisickness medications. Hope this helps.

Poor Oreo! To have the best chance of survival, your dog does need to be hospitalized. Parvovirus treatment consists of aggressive supportive care to control the symptoms and boost your dog’s immune system to help him win the battle against this dangerous disease. Dogs infected with parvovirus need intensive treatment in a veterinary hospital, where they receive antibiotics, drugs to control the vomiting, intravenous fluids, and other supportive therapies. Please take her into a vet immediately.

Poor girl. There is no medication strictly for parvo, but treatment consists of supportive care medication such as antibiotics, anti-nausea medication (Cerenia), fluid therapy (subcutaneous or IV fluids), vitamin supplements, and if needed pain medication. These are all medications that will require a veterinary prescription. They are also all injectable medications in the beginning of treatment since most parvo pets will not tolerate anything given by mouth. I do hope that you can work with a veterinarian in your area to help your cute puppy Gucci recover form this deadly disease. I wish you all the luck moving forward. Take care. : )

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Poor Zoe! I do not recommend activated charcoal for parvo. I also do not recommend enemas. Enemas will make the diarrhea worse and will further dehydrate Zoe. There is an outpatient protocol for parvo. You'd have to see the Vet to get the supplies but it is much cheaper then hospitalizing and has a decent success rate. Puppies die from parvo secondary to dehydration and sepsis. All you can do at home with out some veterinary involvement is to gently syringe water and liquefied canned food. I would print this protocol out and have Zoe seen today. Get the at home supplies. I wish you the best! https://drjustinelee.com/using-the-colorado-protocol-for-canine-parvovirus-dr-justine-lee-board-certified-veterinary-specialist/

Yes, hospitalization is the best option. Parvovirus treatment consists of aggressive supportive care to control the symptoms and boost your dog’s immune system to help Diamond win the battle against this dangerous disease. Dogs infected with parvovirus need intensive treatment in a veterinary hospital, where they receive antibiotics, drugs to control the vomiting, intravenous fluids, and other supportive therapies. I would take her back into a vet clinic immediately. Best of luck.
