So we have a 2 month old Labrador-Shepherd. It's only been a day since he was suffering from parvo. He's been pooping blood, like cranberry red blood with worms and dang! The worms are jiggling and it smells funky! We give him baby food using a syringe and sugar water just for him to have something in his stomach but vomits after an hour or two.

He's responsive and still wags his tail when we call him but I see he's suffering. He's already skin and bones in less than a day :((( I use a syringe to help him drink some water to keep him hydrated. We can't afford the vet. What are the best remedies I could give our Tyler? :(( Please help me.

I'm sorry but if you do not take your Tyler to a vet even if just for a check-up to make sure you can call them if you need to ask questions after Tyler is home it could be placing him in a dangerous situation.

There are a lot of sites that recommend how to treat your puppy at home and there are OTC meds and fluids that are recommended but this is a very tough time consuming job and it is a constant 'watch' and 'treat' sort of thing and this is 24 hours a day.
There are also stores that sell these medications - Tractor Supply, Farm Stores, PetCo and others. The store personnel will help you once you explain your problem. Be sure you have Tyler's weight.
The sooner you begin any kind of treatment the better chances he will have to survive.

Here is some information about a treatment that is unusual but vet's say it works when/if your dog refuses to take fluids.

"Enema Fluids:
This is one of the most common ways to give fluid at home, and the amount that you will inject will depend on the size of your dog. The heavier the animal, the more fluids you will need to administer. Consult your vet on exactly how much to administer for the size of your puppy.

Enemas can either be administered with an infant enema bag, a bulb syringe or a standard clear syringe (not with a needle). Give the enema very slowly over several minutes in order to avoid the fluids coming right back out. Additionally, make sure that the fluids are at body temperature. It is very important to confirm that your dog actually needs the fluids, or else they will flow right back out no matter how slowly you go."

Here are some online sites that offer help with vet bills. I know nothing about any of the places so just look at the sites to see if you might qualify for help. Also, contact your local Humane Society to see if they have information about where to get financial help or lower vet services.

Here are links to how to treat your dog at home. Some suggestions will be different so read carefully but be sure you keep Tyler hydrated, rested and slowly provide food.

Parvo is very contagious to animals. This virus can last weeks , depending on the animal. Antibiotics is needed along with much care. If your dog has had his shots, this helps. You really need to contact a Vet, also if there are any other animals in the home, this would be very harmful to other pets , catching this virus. There is a Vet's link that you can ask questions for help. - www.justanswer.com/pet-dog - and this link- www.petcoach.co/

I am adding this tip because my heart hurts when I hear about parvo. I know that sometimes we all can not afford the vet and it is a hard thing when you feel helpless so if you have a pet with parvo, then this is what you can do :

I do not have the money to go to a vet, but is there a way I can give my dog Ampitrexyl for the parvo infection? That is the best I can do. Please I love my dog dearly he is my baby boy. Will it help him?

There is an article about an alternative treatment at home:
csu-cvmbs.colostate.edu/.../parvo-puppies-new-protocal.aspx

The two drugs are Maropitant, an anti-nausea drug, and Convenia, an antibiotic. Both are given under the skin. The Maropitant must be given several times daily. This is intensive treatment, but at $300, is much cheaper than the $1500-$3000 for hospitalization.

A dog can die within 48 hours of catching parvo. If I were you, I'd ask the vet about this treatment, or work out some payment plan.

My 7 month old has been suffering for about 5 days..I have been forcing collide silver down his throat with a turkey baster.. I mixed with this some children Panadol and antibiotics 2 times a day. Plus I added electrolytes some black strap molasses and bi carb soda.. I mixed up what I gave him at the 5 or 6 times I feed him. But all were with the collide silver base.. I thought I had lost him on day 3 ... but persisted.. he now has a little more energy. Looks much better and has even drank some water on his own. I am still giving him the different mixtures plus a bit of chicken stock. I am confident that he will make it.. the next challenge is getting him to eat on his own.. but I am sure he will soon. So don't give up..persist ...even when you think it is no use and maybe even cruel to keep forcing fluid down there throat.. good luck

I am not certain that my 9 week old Pitt had or have parvo-she had the first 2 rounds of her puppy boosters,then fell sick I started pumping Pedialyte in her and she perked up and played and ate a little the next day.then a couple hours later we were back to being sick we took her to the vet paid 200 for meds but we were strapped for cash so I took her home and started the meds and looking for alternative treatments.I found activated charcoal-it helped a little-then I heard about sovereign silver.after 4 doses she was wagging her tail nd drinking on her own,not long after that maybe an hour she began eating then playing...still has dyareia but not throwing up this is day 5 ..I'm not sure if this is over or just a reprieve I'm still giving Pedialyte and sovereign silver.

My girl Pit Bull has parvovirus and she's on day two. We're fighting this disease together because it's not only affecting our dogs, but us as well.

They are our best friends! My dog is 15 months of age. It is harder for older dogs! I started my own campaign. We are survivors of parvo!

I have a puppy that is 10wks. today. Last night he started throwing up chunks of food, I didn't think anything of it, till this morning. He was still throwing up and it was getting runnier than at first. He is a little lethargic and has diarrhea and worms.

I have seen parvo many times before so I know that is what it is. I can not afford a $500 vet bill, I know this is what it costs because a few years ago I had a dog that had parvo and I had him treated for it.

I am giving him electrolytes as well as oatmeal water to keep his blood sugar at a normal level, and Kaopectate for diarrhea. Are there any home remedies that really work? So far we made it through day 1.

Hi, I have a beautiful pit bull she is 9 months old I diagnosed her with parvo 4 days ago today. There is hope! I noticed Sasha had parvo on the 3rd day when she was at her worst she was vomiting yellow foam an was pooping puddles of dark brown reddish awful smelling diarrhea. She was so bad off she couldn't even stand up and was lying in her own feces and vomit. :( She was so depressed and has that mommy help me look so I helped her.

I could not afford the vet so I immediately searched and searched the internet an looked up hospital cures as well as home cures and did them all! Here's what I did I used fresh squeezed lemon juice, human amoxicillin (vet uses its sister penicillin), as well as a nausea pill for humans called Zofran (vet uses ondansteron generic for zofran) and lots of water and Pedialyte. I gave her 5ml of lemon juice in a child syringe twice daily, took the powder out of one 500 mg amoxicillin, and crushed one 8mg Zofran til it was powder mixed it with boiling hot water so it would dissolve an sucked it up with the syringe as well I did this 3 x daily.

You also have to be very positive around her and love on her if you believe there's hope she will too. If you don't believe neither will she and you don't want her to give up. Today is the 5th day and she is getting up and walking around and drinking water on her own. She is no longer having diarrhea nor is she lethargic. She is now peeing and a million times better then she was 2 days ago when I thought she was going to die. I definitely recommend this to everyone it will work and your dog will live. I will keep you posted as she improves. Have hope.
